thnx everyone
i havent check the baterry yet
but i check the oil and it need some more so i add about .5 qt into the engine
i just try to start it and it start right up after 2 crank ?
i just start to think that the engine burn oil but from what i search this engine wont burn that much of oil so maybe the other owner didnt check the oil probablly
do u guy think if i have a problem with the spark plug seal ? because my exhaust are covered with black ash from the smoke i guess ? but it doesnt seem like there is much smoke coming out of my car tho ?

Your posts are hard to understand but from what I can gather, the car "tries to start/turn" when you attempt to start it but it would not turnover, correct? If this is the case, there is no problem with your battery. Check to make sure you have fuel and spark.

What engine damper did you say you removed? Did you wash just the outside of the car?

black exhast = running rich like how 00-01's do.

Mine turns black too, dont worry about it. Also, check the oil OFTEN. our early ap1s are known for burning oil. Read the FAQs in the section and stuff.
