AND WHEN I TRY TO CRANK IT MAKES THIS NOISE LIKES IT WANTS TO START BUT ITS NOT CONNECTING. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE PROBLEM.

make sure your batt terminals are clean and tight
make sure your neg cable has a good connection to the engine.

make sure the wires and cables that go to the starter solinoid are clean and tight

if all this is good ,most likely starter is bad
