Re: Starter blues

So, I turned the engine over by hand from the p/s pump pulley until there is too much pressure to turn it, still wont turn over.

Re: Starter blues

If your motor has good compression you probably won't be able to turn it over

Would I have to take out all of the spark plugs or could I take out only certain ones? Or could I just loosen them? Or am I nuts for thinking this would work?

Hand. I turned by hand and it got to a point where I couldn't turn any more. So I tried the starter, still just get a single click but no start. I want to try turning by hand more and hitting the starter again.

Re: Starter blues

If you want Richard I can have it towed to my shop so I can find out what's wrong before you start buying and doing stuff that's not fixing it

Re: Starter blues

Well if you pull the plugs it will allow you to turn by hand.but if you get a breaker bar on the crank bolt you can do it with plugs in

I just want to be sure I can afford it first. I don't want to be one of those people who drops a car off at your shop then can't afford to pay you for the work.
