won't start and rpms jump when trying to start.

Hello. This is my first post on forums let me know if I did something wrong thanks.
98 acura tl 2.5 Today I was driving home from work and heard a grinding noise and my rpms jumped a little bit then drove another 30 feet then the grinding noise started again and immediately died. When I try to start my car it cranks and the rpms jump between 4 and 5 and the car won't start. The cranking noise does not sound right either. I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem was and how to fix it. Thanks.

First step would be to have your starter checked for proper operation.

Why check the starter? The grinding noise occured while he was driving. I don't have an answer either but, unfortunately, I suspect it's something more sinister than a starter......

The starter could have randomly engaged while the engine was running. I remember when my starter was acting up, often times when I try to start the car early in the morning, my rpm jump up and down whenever it engaged/disengaged and it sounded real nasty.
