It could many of different things, like Spork said codes will help determine it and like Steph said the oil level might be to low. The solinoid could be bad, wireing could be bad, could be a loose connection and so on.

Exactly what he said, but I would start with the easiest things first.

Let us know

its possible that the gasket on the solenoid is clogged. i've seen it happen to people before.

i think his motor spining a rod bearing was the issue, not 100% sure though but just a guess
