Sounds like you need a new switch not a motor. Check salvage yards or Ebay

Well if your battery and fuses check out fine the next thing i would suggest would be to make sure all your battery cables are good and snug, both at the battery side, and the vehicle side.

Sounds like a plugged up catalytic converter to me and the other just sounds like a bad brake light switch

Sounds like a bad battery to me. Turns over really slowly? Also, be sure to check your oil, this is extremely important!
