Cant push-start car (engine will not turn over) 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be FREQ on  Mon Jul 14 02:03 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I just picked up a 1993 850 GLT 5-speed with 193k miles. It was $400 since the starter didnt work. I tried to push-start the car (and also pull it with another car) in hopes of getting it started but it seemed that the engine at first was rotating but then after that it seemed that the engine was locked up. Any ideas of what this could be? Im hoping its not a busted timing belt and a lock up due to interfering valve engine.

The people I bought it from said it was running 2 weeks ago.

Any thoughts or recommendations? I think I will take off the timing belt cover and pull the plugs to see whats going on.

Thanks,
FREQ
