have you checked compression? How about other things related to fuel supply and spark? Just squirting atf is not going to produce miracles if you don't know the exact problem.

sorry to say it could be locked up.. but do like seven said and check the fuel/spark/intake.. just about everything before you jump to any conclusions..

If the engine is locked up, HOW THE HELL CAN HE DO A COMPRESSION CHECK???

Put it in first, and try pushing it backwards, then try the atf trick again.
Spin the engine away from the carbon.
