<<Whirrr, Whirrr>> I had a similar problem with my 87 syncro GL. As it turned out, the contacts in the starter solenoid were gummed up. I had the starter replaced, but before they sent the core back I took a look and there was quite a bit of gunk on the contacts - it was the original starter 112k. My advice: pull starter, crack her open, clean her up, stick her back in, don't worry be happy.
