At first my car was running unto I gotton a freeze plug in the right side of the motor cause it was missing. When they got done putting the freeze plug in the car wouldn't start. It's sometimes act like it want to turn over but dont. So I brought a new battery, starter, spark plugs, new battery cable and it still won't start. The motor good but won't start.
