I've checked the start signal fuse and it's OK.
The problems started AFTER my transmission swap. AUTO TO AUTO.
I found CRAZY97's thread. I ran a 4ga wire from the 14m bolt directly to where the NEG cable of the battery mounts on the engine. NO noticeable improvement.
car = 98se auto. 168k
When ever it has started, I noticed a rough idle and carbon fouled plugs 4/6 with the other two slightlty carbon fouled.
I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.

When you say it's 'just spinning', is it the high speed spinning of just the starter, or is the engine actually cranking as well? If it was engaged with the flexplate, the engine would be cranking.
FWIW try running the ground from the starter bolt directly to the battery itself, all of the open areas where the battery grounds to the block tend to lead to corrosion and not so great contact.
By 'cranking noise' do you mean the starter spinning free (as you seem to mean) or the engine itself cranking? There's no 'signal' for the noise, it's just an inherent noise when you start putting these assemblies in motion.
Have you tried pulling the starter out to see if it's possibly not kicking out properly?
