Try starting with the Alternator and Fan belts removed. If it still doesn't turn over.....

seized up alternator?

If the wheels don't move, then you need to look at the transmission / clutch. Even if the engine won't turn over, in neutral the wheels are free to turn.

If you put the transmission in neutral, can you rotate the engine with a wrench? Be sure to have the ignition off when doing this test.

Thank You!
I try to move alternator wheel or coller wheel with the wrench. But the smaller wheel (closer to the nut) is moving but the belt dosnt. Maybe i could try to turn the nut in the opposide dirction.
But at this moment it looks like engine is blocked. Maybe valve is blocked or something wrong with crankshaft ((
Interesting way of diagnosis is starting the engine without belts!!! Gerat idea!
After toweling, i try to start the engine and the engine started for 1 second ... ??? I cant understand this behaviour )))
Really thank you for any advices and diagnosis ways!

It won't roll with the trans in neutral, or with the clutch disengaged?

Rocket Rob

To clarify my engine rotation test, you need the transmission in neutral and put a wrench on the alternator nut, sometimes you need squeeze the belts to increase the tension and you should be able to rotate the engine. I would rotate it one full revolution to make sure there is nothing mechanical blocking.

Transmission is in neutral but i cant rotate the engine with a wrench
Alternator isnt blocked. I can rotate the axle left and right.
Car is rollig in neutral and when any gear is on and clutch is pushed car is rolling, but when i let the clutch out, wheels are blocked!

So..... Engine is death ... [*]

it won't roll in gear? it will roll in neutral? It is supposed to be like that. try a little harder to get the motor to turn with a socket on the alternator bolt by using your hand to squeeze the belt. It should turn the motor over. if not then you have big issues. But you did mention it ran for a second? Prob something stupid and just may be a little out of your repair skills. Take it to the shop since you don't seem to be able to make any progress. Keep us posted.

Try pulling one spark plug out of each cylinder. This will make it very easy to turn the engine over.
