I posted on here a couple weeks ago about my car and thought that it might have been hydro locked. I have worked on it a couple of times sence then to try and fix it. I have already changed the oil and still no luck. There was no water in the oil or anything. So the next thing i did was pulled the old plugs out and put new ones in. After this it began to atleast try and turn over but still wouldnt. At this point when i was trying to turn over it sounded like it was trying but it also felt like it was jumping a little bit. I also check the ditributor cap and nothing was wrong with it. What else could i try to do I really need to get this car fixed and sold hopefully before christmas.

 

Check/change out your spark plug wires.

and why in the world do you say that?

try cranking the car with no plugs in it, check for fire, check for fuel, check compression, check timing check all the basics, lets us know what you find, we will help you from there-

 

Oh yeah I forgot to mention this before but as of now it doesnt even attempt to turn over. I will check to see if its the wires. My dad thinks that its an electrical problem so what are some other things to check besides fuses?

 

lol yea I think its an electrical problem....haha

is it a manual?

 

check firing order...or even distribitor..

 

Yes its a Manual.

 

look if you can push star it then look for an electrical problem in the starter to alternater circuit you might just need a new starter or a new alternator maybe a battery if you cant push start it drop the oil pan and check the crank bearings they might have spun and seized and if you give up how much $$$$$

 

Could it be the starter? because now its just makeing one click and thats it
