Default Issues with Starter; D16Y8

So I finally have some time again to work on my car which has been in my garage for the past year. I get it started up and the idle was steady at about 1300, but I expected that because I just removed the IACV and the throttle body plate was opened up a bit. I'm using an AEM EMS with a piece of **** Toshiba laptop running Windows ME (I'm about ready to break the ******* thing). Just as the car gets warmed up and I'm about to mess with the throttle plate screw, the laptop freezes up. So I shut the car down, reboot the laptop and get ready to start it again. When I flip the key to on, everything gets power (fuel pump etc.). When I go to crank it over, however, I can hear the starter just whirring, like its not engaging the flywheel. I pulled the starter off, and the gears on it look fine. Anybody have a clue as to what could be up with it?

Cliff notes: I had my car running, shut it off, and now the starter just whirs when I try to crank the engine over.

Get the **** out.

I'm going to replace the starter with a new one, as this one came from a junkyard and I'm not sure about its origins etc.

The only reason I'm hesitant about doing that is if I push it down my driveway and it doesn't work, I'm fucked. Unless a bunch of you want to come over and help me push it back up.

too far from rochester. what you can also do is put the car in gear, and rock it back and fourth, that should manually spin it if im correct.
