Jim,
Sounds like a problem with the solenoid. If you have the time, tools and
interest you can take the starter off, remove and troubleshoot the
solenoid. I'd just replace the whole starter assembly with a known good one if you
can. It sounds as if the solenoid isn't holdling the shift lever in (that
pushes the starter gear assembly into the ring gear) which allows the
starter motor to spin (the vacuum cleaner sound) without engaging the ring gear
to turn the engine.
