Not sure if your starter is good or bad. You see this brown plug at the bottom? You have to cut the wires and jump them to start the car.

well the problem with the car was that it was constantly leaking fuel... so when my brother drained his oil he had about 5 gallons to drain... the gas locked it up due to flooded cylinders, and i mean flooded.

thanks for looking out bro!
