Starter teeth and/or flywheel teeth are damaged. Probably just the starter teeth though can't be sure without inspecting the car. Replacing the starter is fairly easy even for a novice while replacing the flywheel is quite a bit more involved. Fingers crossed that just needs the starter replaced. Good Luck.

Well we just replaced the starter like 3 weeks ago .. The engine is a 96-2000 d16 an the starter is for a 92-95 d15 could that be a problem ? It matched up so we didn't think it was a big denal ... My husband and I do all the work on our cars but this one is stumping us

just by comparing part numbers those two starters are different. are you getting any cel codes? possibly a bad starter, weak battery, loose starter wire.

Don't be stumped. No one has responded because in all likelihood I already gave you the right answer. Your problem is almost certainly the starter teeth and/or flywheel teeth. Replace the stater and it will probably be fixed. The proper way would be to inspect the flywheel teeth as well to see if the flywheel needs to be replaced also.
Good Luck.
