When you say it won't turn over, are you refering to a problem with the starter not working? Or, is the starter working but the engine won't start?

Let me know.

Okay, if the starter is cranking the engine, I need you to check for spark and fuel to the engine. One will most likely be missing. We will focuse on that area when you let me know which is the problem. If you need directions, on our homepage under the DIY section, you will find what you need.

I didn't realize that. Have you noticed any coolant consumption?

The way you described starting (clicking, cranking, almost locking up then turning) makes me question if coolant is getting into the cylinders and causing a hydrostatic lock. Also, ignition timing can cause a similar problem. If the timing is set too far advanced, the spark ignites the fuel in the combustion chamber too early trying to stop the piston from reaching TDC. As a result, it sounds like it locks for a second then turns again.

Sorry, it's hard to explaine. I hope that it helps.
