Car won't turn over!

[Micro Mudder]

Yea I got the engine to frame grounds all cleaned to a shine and I'll retrace my steps again to see if I did miss any thang

Okay with the starter off and it in gear i can turn the flywheel with a lot of force but the car will move. and I grounded out the starter and turned the key and it will spin like normal makes no since at all to me it works separately but not together

Is your clutch disengaging?
You said that the flywheel bolts worked out and caused problems?
We don't know the extent of these problems aside from stripped threads.

Did you ever take the pressure plate apart and inspect the clutch disc?
If you say the flywheel being moved moves the car in gear, but yet the starter won't rotate when clutch is pressed in.
That buzzing sound could be the starter trying to rotate but the disc may be still engaged or stuck even.

Or maybe the clutch cable wasn't adjusted correctly?

Just a possibility.
I would save breaking it open again for a last resort.
After your other avenues are exhausted.

Yea the clutch does disengage I can push the clutch peddle down in gear and I can push the car easy I tested it in all 5 gears cuz I thought the same or the tranny could be bad and binded up but when I got the tranny I tested all the gears by hand and they worked and were smooth. I'm trying to start it with out a battery connected to the car so it may be that the car charger on jump isn't enough cuz it doesn't let me run my radio with only 2 8" subs and the speakers and it powers off when the bass hits hard so could it just not be enough cranking amps?

Me thinks your on to something, think you really need a battery to give it sufficient amps to turn it over.
Borrow one, even temporarily, could tell you all is OK.

It happens to all of us!
As someone said it is likely something simple.
Might just let the battery charge over night and get a good charge at a lower charge rate.
Your call your schedule!

[Micro Mudder]

It's just an old battery so I'm going to charge it fast cuz I got a new one from Walmart that a cell blew after a month so I'm going to exchange it and I so hope that something simple is a battery which is kinda important

But I'll keep ya posted if It works be looking out for a vied of her runnin!

Good luck and let us know if "she lives"!

[bravekozak]

You did push in the clutch pedal before you turned the key? Right?

[Micro Mudder]

I didn't... You guys should tell me these things earlier!

Hold it! Your kidding us, right?

[Micro Mudder]

Haha of course I am I pressed in the clutch! Just let me check again on the car to inspect the clutch, you know, to make Shure it still moves

[Micro Mudder]

[Pu241]
