Hello everyone, I have what seems to me a strange problem. The car started as usual,  3 minutes driving it cut out, I turned the key again and a whirring noise from the starter.  I thought the starter was faulty but that wouldn't stop the car. the starter turns but does not crank the engine however if I engage 1st gear clutch and I turn the starrer out the car lunges forward, I can see the timing belt turning, and I can here the fuel pump priming, any ideas?

What car, what engine, help us to help you by giving us basic information please.

Sorry I thought it was  put on via my profile.
