Sometimes when im starting up and the engine sputters but doesnt start and i go to turn the key again the starter works and i can hear it spinning and winding but its not engaging the motor, i turn the key back and go to start it again and the engine cranks like nothing happened, IDT this is hurting anything but i can't be sure just seems really strange. I'm guessing some sort of computer thing senses that the engine started ( when really it just sputtered for a second and died) and shuts the starters ability to engage to avoid grinding the teeth on the starter is this what it is or is this bad ?
