86 GXL doesn't want to start...PLEASE HELP!!
I have a serious problem. I have a year with my rebuilt engine but I didnt drive it that often until one day I tried to turn on my car but all it does is a click.I replaced the starter but I get the same clicking noise.So I decide to push start the car,but when I released the clutch on 2nd gear I hear a heavy sqeaky noise and the car stops just like if I was hitting the brakes but I wasn't. I tried it 3 times no responce. please give an idea to my problem.I hopeing it's not my engine..........................................TH ANKS!!

Try putting the car in 5th and pushing it backwards. If the car is carbon locked (ie has a bit of carbon jamming the apex seal against the rotor housing), this can free it. If you can't push it backwards, you can also try pushing the flywheel teeth backwards with a big screwdriver (Counter clockwise when looking from the front of the motor).
Good luck!,
