put it in neutral and try to turn it over by hand. 17mm socket/wrench and turn it counterclockwise when looking at the cam gear...

see if you can turn it over, it shouldnt be that hard even with the spark plugs in. you should be able to get it from inside the engine bay...no need to jack car up and do it from the wheel well.

Check to make sure you have fuel, and spark. Possible ignition probs or main relay related. Do a search if you are unsure how to check for those. There is a lot of info about them.
