Default No start

My car is an 06 and it randomly died while I was creeping up to a stop, so I waited about an hour for my sister to get there, she gave me a jump and it started right up, but then a day later it died again while I was driving down the road, I've checked the battery and it's good, the alternator is good, the fuel is priming, and my starter is turning but absolutely no noise out of tge engine, it won't turn over, I have full power until I hit the start button then everything thing shuts of and then when I release the button it turns back on

I tried turning the engine over by hand at the crank pully but it's not budging at all, I'm now gonna try to take the spark plugs out and see if I can turn it, any ideas of what's going on?

You have a serious problem there.

Take the plugs out, and try again to turn it by hand.

I have had this happen to an 06. I was able to use a breaker bar and free up the crank, and it actually was able to start right up and run fine....

The car finally gave out a couple weeks later. Loose camwheel bolt and destroyed thrust washers on the crankshaft.

the entire engine was done.

If the engine lugs down when you push the clutch in, it's the thrust washer. It may be saveable, but it's an enormous job.

Only way to service the thrust washer is to pull the engine, split the halves and remove the crankshaft.

This seems to be getting more common among 06-08 s2k. I know a guy where his 07 s2k 45k miles died while making a turn and the engine wouldn't turn over. Turns out connecting rod broke and locked the whole engine up. Petty much total engine damage.

Dang....I hope it's not that serious, the car had 90, 000 on it and has been babied it's whole life, so I'll pull the plugs tomorrow and if it doesn't turn are you saying I should man handle it until it does? I know I'm suppose to turn clockwise but if that doesn't work will turning it counter clockwise ruin anything?

You can turn it either way.

Look inside the cylinders when the plugs are out and look for any fluids or something that can stop it from turning.

I caved and took the car to honda, I guess my throw out bearing was somehow missing? So as long as the block isn't shot I'm building it with parts from a vendor on here, just incase does anyone know where to get a clean block?
