    I read a post by someone with a similar problem. They had a car wash,
    drove it about 50 yards to a stop light and it died. They rolled into a
    car shop at the light and they tried to jump it with no luck. Everyone
    kept saying they had Hydrolock and water was in the engine.

    It really turns out that the bolt that holds the timing chain on fell
    off. So the car would not crank. I would have that checked. Good luck.

    Please explain what you mean by "it would try to start just not crank over."
