It is possible that your engine is seized or there is water/fluid in a cylinder causing a hydrolock if it won't crank but a few degrees and stalls the starter, ... do a little research if things don't seem right.

what do you mean by un-plug here? I imagine just running a jumper cable from the positive battery post to this larger/center pin?

thanks
