How can i tell if i have a starter problem or solenoid problem? My 96 Tahoe does not start. It sounds like a whirling noise. Not a clicking sound. Thanks, Al

Was this something that just came up suddenly, or over time?

Well, that will do it. Fortunately it's a pretty easy and straightforward fix.
