i have an 1984 gsl se i have fixed all grounds that i can, cleaning replacing bolts with stainless, lube with dielectric grease, new starter , fully charged battery with booster charger., found that it will not even turn over. you can feel the starter wanting to turn the flywheel,help

 

Sounds like you have a bad starter with stripped gears, or a stripped spot on the flywheel.

Can you turn the engine by hand?

 

tap the solinoid (gently) , the problem may not just bel limited to the electrics

 

no i cannot turn by hand, but i used your method for cleaning some of the grounds which helped a lot

 

If you can't turn the engine by hand then there is a serious problem. It may be jammed due a broken apex seal.

 

the car was a daily driver until two weeks ago, i lent it to a friend for a couple weeks because his car was down, he parked it in the garage after fixing his car and it wasn't started for two weeks. when he tried it wouldn't turn over. i will call him back and ask him again if he can turn over the engine by hand again. should it turn quite easily?

 

It should turn very easily.

 

looks like you were right, i put a power bar to the pulley and it won't turn

 

Carbon lock.....is possible. Shot engine imho either way.

 

try the atf trick. it will get it running enough to get you home, but its suggested to rebuild that engine at this point. the Atf will destroy the carbon, and the seals and what not. it might be able to get home. either way, an immediate rebuild is in your future.

 

i'll try it , it was only parked for two or three weeks
