I shot a video while it was happening but it doesn't sound as grinding in the video as it did in real life..

Something under the intake manifold was sounding like an electric motor with a bunch of stripped gears, the engine was NOT running in the video.
It is not the little water pump there, I thought it was the electric throttle motor with gears stripped out but my throttle works fine now.
I also think it might have been the idle air control motor under there but my idle seems to be fine now too..
GF turned the key to start it but didn't even crank and just made this noise..
The noise stopped and then it started and drove fine..
Sometimes if I remove the battery or something it will not crank until I lock and unlock it a few times and try starting it a few times then it will crank and start..
It seemed to do this this time, turn key but no crank, but made this horrendous noise I have never heard before.
Any ideas?
