I don't think that really helps us help you in any way. What you could do is just answer the questions asked. Don't mean to come off harsh but if you want us to help you just answer our simple questions.

What do you consider all this happening? Did you do any recent mods? Timining is good? Remove spark plugs to check if there soaked? Try cranking it over for a little while. I know my friend had his gsx out of commisions for a few weeks because of suspension problems and it wouldn't start until we cranked it over for 10 seconds and then right after that it fired right up.

 

[anthony2658]

no i didnt do any mods and i did check the plugs an they were soaked

 

[bane3d]

So you went so far as to jack up the car, pull the front left tire, pull the plugs, put the car in neutral, and insert a half inch extension and tried to turn the crank by hand?

was the engine knocking before that? i have a car that had this happen to it , its the main bearings they're seized. but if it wasnt knocking then thats not it. and if it is check the oil to see if theres coolant, was it idling poorly when it first started up?

 

[DSMNoGames]

another thing i can think of was it didnt start the second time because your plugs were fouled (soaked in gas), and then maybe your starter packed it in. let the plugs dry and then try cranking it again while someone taps the starter motor. and dont give up right away we've all had our downs, i melted my piston last sunday, but im getting on the road as soon as i get some cash

 

[SpiralOut]

Are you sure you cranked it in the right direction?

 

[crimsondragon]

If it really did seize, might as well rip apart the block and see why it seized no? Assuming it did seize.

I'd bet money that your balance shaft belt broke. When it breaks, the engine will not turn over if the belt gets wedged in the pulley. I've seen it on 2 or 3 cars that I've bought; everyone seems to thing the engine is shot since it's "locked up".

Jesus, people. Grammar. Spelling.

You've jumped timing.
