Hi, I have a 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo I have been messing around with a little bit and I have been working on getting it to run. Now, I have a weak spark(but spark nonetheless), fuel, and some compression. But when I try to turn it over, it doesn't even try to crank! What should I try next? Or, how much would it cost for me to send it to a garage and have it fixed?

Costs vary all over but charge battery and take to autoparts/tires stores to check condition including load test. If battery is ok then have starter tested for draw if you take it off a autoparts can check that as well.

What I meant was the motor just turns over and over but doesn't attempt to start and run. I have already but a new battery and rebuilt the starter.

You need to clarify on stuff like that in future. Check items in pic to specs. Air gap shold be.010 you might need a brass feeler gauge for dist air gap. Then check #15 at control module for power and ground wire to control module. If car still not starting get back to me as I have to go to a different manual for this. Also check all your fuses to make sure they are making contact.
