Starter won't turn engine
Hello
I have a 99 jimmy 4x4 with a V6. I have had problems getting it to run. I have a new battery and starter. But for some reason I can't diagnose why the starter hits and try's to turn the motor but can't. I can see the serpentine belt move slightly. Any suggestions would be great |

Thanks for the response. Yes I can turn the crank. I will try removing the spark plugs.

If you can turn the crankshaft with a socket then no need to pull spark plugs.
turn the headlights on. Do they go out when you try to crank the engine with the starter? |
The motor was hydro locked. But it's a good thing I pulled the plugs. 4 out of 6 fell apart. I was told they were replaced by the previous owner.

Glad you have it figured out! Thanks for letting us know.
