When i put the key in the ignition switch the lights come on but it only makes a clicking sound, nothing else.
I went through the simple tests:
1)My battery is good
2) i checked all my fuses and relays
3) we took out our starter and it tested good
4) since we had a oil leak from valve cover gasket i changed the spark plugs
I have two theories
1) the fuel pump is bad
2) the engine locked up
1) i did the gas cap hearing test to see if it makes a sound when you turn on the key but i didnt hear anything, if i did it was just a faint sound that can barely be heard
2)it does have oil but when i try to turn the harmonic balancer/ crankshaft pulley it wont budge, im using a regular ratchet because i dont have a torque wrench but does it matter? I am turning it clockwise, unless its supposed to be super tight cause it wont budge
any suggestions or other tests i can do
Added (1). We took the starter off and went to a parts store to test it since i suspected it might have gone bad from all the oil leaking on it from the bad valve cover gasket but it tested out good
It does have anti theft but idk how to mess with it or diagnose to try to help my car
