the starter is winding? if so your starter is bad same **** happened to me. some times it will click and crank some times just wind. if your starter is still new take it back and exchange it. make sure the connections are good at the starter. was the ugly grinding noise like when you try to start the car but its allready started?

when you crank the motor by hand at the crank, check to see if the cam gear is turning also. you could have a broken timing belt. When the timing belt breaks, the bottom end will turn very easily with no resistance and it also sounds like a whining sound. Ask me how i know this
