Something like this happened in my friend's car. One of his spark plug's insulator cracked. I'm not sure if you have the same problem.

 

check the basics first..spark, fuel, and compression..take out the spark plugs, and try turning the engine over with a wrench on the crank pulley and listen for sounds and resistance

 

gas pump?

 

tx guys il do a compression test today and look at my pistons with a flashlight ... cheq spark plugs etc eny other ideas ?

 

hey so i changed my fuel filter ...changed my dspark plugs and checked the spark there all good and checked compresion i have 180 on all cylinders eny ideas

 

crank position sensor ???

 

bump

 

are you sure the starter aint stuck?

 

check ur starter as well. does it still crank?

 

still cranks perfectly

 

wow u got me stumped......hmm.....how are your cams?? wow.....i dunno....i'd like to know what happened too! LoL

 

pull off oil pan? spun bearing? something in the bottom end it sounds like

 

drain the oil and check for metal in the oil... that will let you know if any bearings were chewed up in the motor
