Have a 98 grand prix gt. Car just died.155,000 miles on it. New starter/battery/plugs and wires. Code showed p0300 on scanner. Starter engages flywheel but car just clicks. Noticed pulleys aren't moving. Starter relay bad? Any ideas?

Basically this means that the the car's computer has detected that not all of the engine's cylinders are firing properly.

A P0300 diagnostic code indicates a random or multiple misfire. If the last digit is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number that is misfiring. A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is misfiring. Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are mis-firing, nor why.
