If the starter is turning, then the engine isn't ceased. The starter is failing to make contact with the flywheel for one reason or another. Either the flywheel is missing teeth, the starter is loose, or some other reason.

Ok thanks a place to start finally I've had emotional issues with my Montero and been pretending it wasn't broke because I wasn't sure where to start. Will check to see why contact isn't being made thank you very much
