Will not "crank over". Does that mean nothing happens when you turn the key to start? Make sure the starter and solenoid are good. See if you can turn the engine manually with a ratchet and socket. If not, you've got a seized engine.

So you don't know if the engine is turning. Can you try turning it manually with a ratchet/breaker bar and socket?
