thanks a lot for all the help. i will try to jump start it like that thread said.

the clicking is not a starter clicking that occurs when u are low on battery. its just one click maybe my motor is locked up so the click is the starters initial click but the mototr will not turn?

could i have possibly locked up the motor in my several attempts to start it? ( i came back from vacation in the middle of the winter and the car is not winterized).

I am fairly good with working on cars but then again i learn a lot of stuff from reading this board. i did a bunch of searches, and i will try a lot of stuff to see what is wrong.

as far as the starter goes. i have no clue where it is. is it suppose to be between the engine and trans? i can't make anything out since it is pretty greasy in there.

oh and i did a search on hydrolock. but i was wondering how does that happen in the first place? or what could i have done to lock up the motor if it is in fact locked up? i cranked a half a dozen times all with oil pressure. and i actually got it starting one day when it was 54F. so i believe the car not starting is because it is not winterized yet.
