I was driving my car last night, hit the breaks, and the engine died. I went to start it and it wouldnt start, then I noticed it would not roll. I poped the glow plug out and rolled it and its turning over(pistons moving). Anyone know whats causing this and what I can do to get it going? Thanks, Ryan

It sounds like the glow plug you use is too long, and it's hitting the piston. If it is a "long" type of plug, try the normal size. If it is the normal size (or you don't know) try adding 1 or 2 of those washers that sit under the glow plug (try to find the same size). Good luck, Josh

Is the clutch locked up? when you turn over the engine do the wheels turn? Can you spin the center diff by hand?

If you pulled the glow plug out and rolled the car on the ground and the piston was moving up and down the problem is in the clutch. If the clutch is free and the car wont roll you damaged one of the diffs or one of the ring gears. The rear ring gears in that car are made out of junk material and you will blow it out sooner or later and the good gear is like 30 bucks. Get used to buying lots of replacement parts for that car,why do you think it was so cheap. I dont mean to rip on your car but I made the mistake in buying the GTLX and waisted a ton of money on it then couldnt hardly give it away so I lost my ass on it. Hope you have better luck with yours.
