If the solenoid throws the gears into mesh and it does not have enough torque to turn the motor to start, the motor will be the culprit. Check all wiring connections for tightness and corrosion. If you don't find any wiring issues, remove the starter and get it load tested.

What happens when you try and start it, do you hear any clicking noises?

Wiggle the gearshift handle, make sure you're in neutral.

Try turning the key to the 'ON' position (not the start position) and pushing it 'IN', do you hear any clicking noises?
