Kinda sounds like what mine's doing too, I think my timing chain may have slipped off the lower gear or something, good starter and it's trying to crank but seems like something just isn't catching good enough to turn it over by itself...I took the passenger half of the engine apart and found nothing wrong so I think it's on the left side where the timing is...They recently put a new timing chain tensioner or whatever it's called in before I bought it and shortly after, I think the chain slipped or something and now it won't catch...
