either better define your problems and questions or find a mechanic because it sounds like you know nothing about cars. sorry if that sounds harsh.

no problem then, if your rod or piston was bad and you were cranking the car you would hear it.

and engine needs 5 basic things to run and these are the only things that can be taken away that will keep it from running.

fuel
air
spark
timing
compressing

figure out what you DONT have, and then figure out why. and make friends with people that know how to work on cars. as long as your willing to read and learn you should have no problem.

just because your horn works, doesnt mean your battery is strong enough to start the car. try jumping it or push starting it.
