When I turn the key the stater spins, but i does not turn the engine over.
Maybe problem with starter motor? It does two things, it kicks out the starter drive gear and spins. The flywheel usually has cover, remove the cover, try to see if starter drive gear engages the flywheel teeth, with key in the crank position.
Some of the national brand auto stores will test the starter for you. Sometimes, I take the starter off, lay it on the ground, hook up jumper cables properly from battery to starter motor. It should kick out the drive gear and spin, granted that is no load test. Intermittent issues can be a pain.
I just want to add, when working under a vehicle, safety is always your responsibility.
I just wanted to add, make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good.
