Engine wont turn!!! HELP!!?!
 
this is the problem with my car, it has about 150k miles on it. we got it from our cousins (the ones who took the video)


any clues on what it might be? thanks!

Your engine is turning fine but it is not starting. What have you checked, besides cranking the heck out of it. Start by scanning for trouble codes, then check for spark and for fuel delivery. Try spraying starting fuel into the intake, if engine starts then you know you have a fuel problem, if it does not start check for spark.

thank you for the input:D

just a question: if i spray starting fluid into the intake, and it still doesnt turn on. will that starting fluid harm anything?

oh and: how can i get it scanned if i cant drive it to autozone or which ever other place?

It won't cause any arm as long as you don't spray 1/2 a can in it at once. Read the instructios on the can. Too much may cause a backfire through the intake and singe your eye lids.

alright so, i sprayed starter fluid into the intake and started the car... smoke blew out of engine. sounded like it was gonna blow up!

so i checked on the spark plugs, and the looked like: (the one on the very top, and the one in the middle. the wet and dry fouled)

there is no way this is a sparkplug problem. it sounds like a crank or camshaft problem to me... what do you think?

Being that it fired up with the starter fluid, I would be more inclined to look for a fuel delivery problem.

Might check your fuses to make sure you didn't blow one. I agree with Pete it sound slike there is no fuel getting to the engine. Quick check to see if the fuel pump is priming is to open the drivers door and listen for the pump to start up.

Thing is it didnt start, it choked and vibrated, then smoked....
