My 2003 Jetta won't start and the engine won't turn over or binds even when using a wrench on the Crank shaft.
First is this normal?
The car was showing a MIL and one code was the injection timing so last Sun. I adjusted it to 3.7 deg it was at 20 deg. advance. Car had lots more power but under load made a vibration noise.
Yesterday my wife was driving the car and it sputtered and then died on here on the highway and she could not restart it. She also said that she tried downshifitng the 5 speed and it would not go back into gear. The thing roles in nutral (had to get it on tow dolly). Then the battery was dead so I had it charged. Then put it back in the car. It would not turn over but the starter tried turning it. The starter does hang up some times and I took it off and the gear is always out. I tried turning it over after starter removed and that did not help.
Any help would be great thanks,
