Ok, here is an oddball that I have never come across and need aome serious assistance with as in ASAP please.
Daughter was driving the car down the road the other day and it just stalled out. Had to go get her from the side of the road. Went through all the typical troubleshooting procedures and found a bad starter which apparently was something on the way to going out but not the cause of this particular issue.
Replaced the starter and once again tried to turn it over to no avail. During turn over attempt, starter kicks in and battery voltage drops to 6.7 immediately.
Tried turning over the engine by hand and found it could be turned backwards but not forwards. Pulled the oil pan and turned the engine over by hand and same result. Can keep turning and turning it in one direction but it's as if it's locked up totally when trying to turn the engine the opposite way. Everything appears to be moving and nothing sounds broken and there were no pieces of anything that fell out or down into the oil pan.
Have any of you ever come across something like this? Any ideas - serious ones?
