Ah OK, I'll do that after work.

To check if it's a seized motor, have you tried putting a wrench on the crank and turning? Checking oil and other such things?

No, I had to get to work. I took 2 hours off today to put the new starter in and then I had problems. I'll get a wrench on the motor on sunday. I believe all the fluids are fine. I just put in some oil to replace the oil lost from my remote oil filter lines.

Edit: Can the neutral safety switch lock the flywheel? I will try to turn the engine soon, but I just wanted to know if that is possible.

I haven't tried to turn the motor with a wrench yet. I did try to reposition the starter the second time, but it didn't help.

I would think it was the ign switch, but I used a jumper wire to jump the solenoid (that's what I did in the vid) and it still wouldn't turn over.

Well here is how it sits at the moment.


I was going to pull the starter again today to get it checked, but as you can see, we had a snow storm last night.

I guess it sounds like the starter engages, but doesn't spin. That's why my dad suggested taking it to get tested.

It's my neighbors porche, and I didn't really have much time for the truck today. This is grinding my nerves. I'm really hoping it's not seized, I think I would cry.






Then I'd save up some money and get a 350 from a junkyard.
