Icon6 Start up issue

Okay my teg has been sitting up for a month mainly because i sold the wheels off of it and last night i got some more and when i go to start it up and nothing happens so we checked the battery and decided to jump it off and it starts up but the engine wont turn over.. So what could the issue be? what do i need to check next??? oh and also my bro had the brilliant idea of trying to check the spark plugs but he broke one off so whats the best way to remove the bottom of the spark plug from its home??

Do you mean the clip got stuck in the dizzy? if so you should be able to pull it out with your fingers or pliers. What happened when you checked the battery? was it dead?, Did you check for spark with the other wires? What does it sound like when you try to start it? do the lights come one? Going to need a little more information man.

did you test it for spark? so it does turn over it just want start correct? or does it just make a ticking sound when you try to crank it, because in the OP you said it wouldn't turn over.

Check your ground and positive connections on the battery. If it's not starting it could be a fuel issue as well. Make sure youre getting spark and fuel, if you are, then check the intake manifold. Check all vacuum hoses, IACV, if your car is 93 and under check your FITV as well. If all of these check out, it may be a timing belt problem, may have skipped some teeth or even snapped. Let us know, good luck.
