Have you tried putting it in neutral to start it?

Before buying a new starter you should remove the one in use and take it to your part's dealer. They can check it for you, and tell you if it is working good or if it is not....

I had a similar problem just last week. I checked and tightened the battery terminals, got juice but no start. tested the relays and found one bad one, replaced it and the heap started right up. The relay that was bad was labled Auto Shutdown, really!.

The issue on the 1999 was a bad TPS.
