Just replaced the starter in my 2000 jeep Cherokee, and now the starter is whirring. After letting my car sit for a few hours it won't even start, the starter just turns over constantly. The weird thing is if I turn the key to the on position and wait until my battery needle goes up it will start then. The battery is only a few months old and it hasn't givin me any trouble so far.
When you say it won't start you mean it won't crank, right ?
If you have a duralast starter from auto zone, that may be the problem.
Aftermarket brand starters and alternators can be lemons sometimes.
A mechanic would check for voltage at the starter with the key in the on and start positions. Also check the ground connections.
Its possible the starter is not getting full battery voltage for some reason.

Do you have an alarm on this? If you do, that is most likely the problem. There seems to be a problem with the alarms. You may want to have a new key made just in case. Sometimes the keys are magnetically charged and after time, it wears off.

it is the park neutral switch! try starting it in neutral if it wont in park.. common problem. that is what is i just changed on mine not to long ago.
SOURCE: try to start car and nothing happens. replaced
Do the dash lights come on ? They should come on when the key is turned to the on position. If nothing happens check the engine relay. It is not too expensive to replace if you really want to eliminate that as the problem. Check all wires going to the starter and make sure it is wired correctly.

sounds like you need to have the battery checked,this is most likely cause of your problem
SOURCE: starter keeps turning even when key is turned off
Curious, do you have an autostart installed? I had that happen that the Autostart shorted and just kept telling my starter to continue cranking
