Question emergency

this is the only car i have I would like to know what is wrong with it.
I have a monte 95 z34.
I noticed when I started it up it would make this Loud noise but then stopped.
well I parked it.. then tried to start it back and NOTHING. the lights would come on.. radio worked.. windows and everything worked.. but it wouldnt crank.
I checked the battery and its getting sparks. Someone told me the motor is locked up. But I dont see how because I always made sure plenty of fluids were in it.. always checked the oil.. antifreeze and ect.

it just doesnt make any sense to why its not starting. it happened all out of the blue. it wasnt running hot.. or anything. So I am clueless. replaced the starter.. that wasnt the problem.. the battery is good.. cables are good.. plugs are good to..

please help.. because this is an emergency

Thanks!
Alizure

Re: emergency

It could be a starter problem the solinoid stuck could even be the ignition switch

Exclamation Re: emergency

I know that this may be a little difficult to do with the limited amount of space around the engine, but you might be able to get to the crankshaft pulley from under the car. Once you get you hand on the crankshaft pulley try to turn it. It may require a little bit of back to do it but if you cant move it than the block is most likely frozen solid. Get a different car, I have a 96 z34 and I'm having the most common problem with my engine and cant get it to stop misfiring. I loved this car when it ran right but now I'm looking for a different on. Wish you the best of luck, but dont sink too much money into it.
