Well, got the 944 towed back to my house today. Timing belt is still on.. i tried to turn it on. Power comes on, cranks for a second and nothing. Same thing keeps happening.. Doesnt turn over, just clicks and nothing. Monday I will be taking it down to a local shop. Crossing my fingers.. but the sound it made wasnt the most pleaseant.

That doesn't sound good. I hope it works out for ya' man and it's nothing serious.

Does it get stuck after 2 turns? Combine that with no oil pressure, you may want to look for a hole in the side of your block.

NO, doesnt worry turn. Just clicks sounds like its gonna turn over and then nothing. Good bye bearings?

Use a 24 mm socket and breaker bar on your crank pulley bolt to see if the engine is seized or something simple like a dead battery from a dead alternator killing the car while being driven and draining power from the battery to cause the subsequent no start clicks. If it does turn over by hand and won't start with a jumper box, then it may be your starter.

Pretty sure engine is seized, geoff took me through it already and it sounds like i need a rebuild or new car. I have power everything so its not a battery alternator problem. Tomorrow ill confirm my worst fears. Here i am worrying about the T belt..

I finally got power in my 3 car garage and will install the 10 4ft long (2 tubes each) shop lights. I think we will have a workspace for our group soon.
