Engine will not crank over, sounds like a drill?

Glad you got the problem fixed the battery was what I thought he problem was but when you said it was new I needed to look somewhere else. I missed the cable thing sorry about that.

That kind of problem can be tough. Please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help.

Cheers, Ken

Turn over mena start? If yes check for spark at plugs. Check engine light on? Security light?

Get a scan done to retrieve the trouble code for the MIL indicating. It could tell us what is wrong.

Attact ratchet and socket to balancer bolt on front of engine. Rotate engine clockwise, if engine will not rotate, then it may be siezed.

If engine rotates, then remove starter and have it tested at most autoparts stores for free.

When you say gas pedal went to floor, did engine over rev, in other words, did tach go into redline?
Did you get an oil pressure warning light? Or did gauge go below 10psi?

The P0341 is the one causing the stalling or difficult starting. You need to have the sensor and circuit checked.

Then most likely something broke in valvetrain and lodged in crank, or bearing spun, or rod bearing etc.

Try to rotate the engine by hand as described, if it will not rotate, then you probably will be better off replacing engine with used one.
Also drain oil and look for metal particles in oil.

Over-reving the engine can cause valves to "float" since springs cannot hold pressure at high rpm. Can also cause oil starvation at bearings.

The cause is the cruise contorl, it should NEVER redline the engine.

There are 3 main things required for starting and engine.

1. Sparks. Ensure ignition sparks are available. Our DIY section has information on how to go about checking this.

2. Fuel. Ensure you have sufficient fuel pressure and the injectors are pulsing. You can try some starting fluid to see if it works.

3. Engine compression. If engine had been idle for too long and with continous cranking, fuel could have flooded the cylinders at some period and this can wash away the lubricating oil in the cylinders and piston rings. This would cause engine compression to drop and not allow starting. Get a compression test performed.
If you are not able to perform any test, remove the spark plugs and pump 1 cc of oil into each cylinder. Cranks the engine for a few seconds to allow the oil to lubricate the rings. Reinstall the sparks plugs and related components and try starting again.

Go to a auto part's store like auto zone and have them scan your computer for code's. If you have any code's let me know what the number's are. Also when it doesn't start is there any security light's on or flashing?

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? As far as the "Throttle Control Sensor, " do you mean the idle air control valve (IAC)? The IAC is responsible for maintaining the engine's idle.
