Having issues with my starter not engaging the flywheel, whenever I turn the key you can hear it spin, but it doesn't turn the engine over. The engine has not ran for almost a week now, so engine heat is not related to this issue. I am at the point of pulling my hair out over diagnosing this issue...any thoughts?
'88 7MGTE/R154
What I've done:
"New" Reman starter from Autozone. Just tested again from Napa to be sure, and it tested good
New starter relay
New battery(FULL CHARGE)
New battery terminals
Performed relay bypass mod with 3 different relays(no change)
Tested solenoid signal wire when key turned to start(has power)
All fuses are good
Starter mounts flush against bellhousing
This is what it does with all wiring hooked up as it should be(You can hear the starter spinning, but not engaging flywheel)

This is what it does with the main power unhooked from the starter(You can hear the solenoid popping the bendix)
