Thank you for all your suggestions...I did check to see if there was oil (it was full) also checked the inside of the valve cover to see if there was rust on the cam (clean as a whistle)..
I'd like to ask...when you spoke about the STOP handle...do you mean hold it in the up position? I would think holding it down would prevent the car from starting..
Also the suggestion about starting fluid or either..which one and where would I use it?

Thanks again
