Starting issues 1999 eighty-eight
 

Hi Olds friends! I Could use some expert advise; i.e. HELP!
I have a 1999 88 olds 72k and it will not start. Little history; I religiously use Lucas Oil upper head and valve cleaner in every tank fill. And use Mobile One oil w/ LO stabilizer. Last year I put new plugs and cables. Also had to replace one of the spare plug coils due to rust and corrosion. OH I did have to replace the starter 5 months ago, it died! NOW; I have a new battery and starter. All terminals are cleaned for good contact. When I turn it over the starter engages but just does a 1 sec jolt. I removed the starter and noticed the casing had broken off. CRAP! So I exchanged it for a new one and upgraded. Same thing just a jolt no broken casing. I put a ratchet to the main pulley and it turns about an inch and will not go any further. ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THX

PROBLEM FIXED!
Just in case my olds pals would like to know...
The old olds 'hydro-locked' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock
Glad it happened while parked and not in motion!
In take gasket needed replaced due to antifreeze leaking in cylinders. Replaced gasket, plugs and runs like a TOP!
