If the motor coils are toast, you can get the symptoms you describe. Did you fully test the starter to make sure that it is activating the solenoid and spinning the motor?

Edit: didn't your engine die while driving before the symptoms started? That would point to something aside from the starter.
Actually I took the starter to a specialized alternator/starter repir shop because they had one unit in stock but check it and turned ot to be ok, they told me that with 90k miles it will be a good idea to repair/refresh, but they told me that my problem was somewhere else.

The car was runing just fine and I stall it leaving a shoping center, no symptoms or noises whatsoever.

Right now, the starter does not even turn the engine...
