I just got a 1995 SL1 with manual transmission and 88,000 miles. Problem is it does not run. I turn the key and nothing happens. I have power the battery is fully charged. I tried to compression start it and when I took my foot off the clutch the car just skided to a stop. Could it be a siezed motor? or could a bad starter do this? or ? Thanks Fred |
Can you crank the engine by hand?
Sounds like the motor cannot turn -- and that's not good. SES light on? Codes? What is history of vehicle? |
the history is that the owner had started it one morning and drove about 100 ft. and it died and would not restart. It has been sitting for about 6 months. Also the owner told me that it leaks oil so he was adding oil on a regular basis. I have not tried to crank the engine by hand. What would be a easy way to do it? The check engine light comes on. I don't have a code reader.

Got it running. Turned out to be just a dead starter.
