Timing chain is worn but not broken . Swapping out the starter was no cost. I got it from a friend who also has a 9000. We both have lots of spare parts and I traded parts for the starter. I put the starter back in. I have removal or install down to 10 or 15 minutes. Replaced valve cover gasket and reinstalled VC.
I have spark and fuel pressure. But the starter is still spinning fast and not sounding normal.
I only had about an hour today to work on it. I had to replace both lower control arms in my daughter's 9-3. I'll look at it tomorrow.
Good advice from Bill U. It was obvious to watch the belt/ pulleysto see if engine was spinning. No one was home when it broke down. And I just assumed it was the starter, due to the abnormal noise.
