I'll bet it turned over just fine. It just wouldn't cough, sputter or fire.

When the starter spins and the engine goes "chugga chugga", that's called "turning over".

Sounds like the Main Relay.

I have had the same exact problem with my RL. I had it looked over and it was determined it was the relay from the fuel pump to the engine. This worked. It cost me approx. $350. They will need to take out the back seat to get to the relay.
