    or the motor is locked up and the starter is smoking because it cant turn and its over heating!

    you can also spin the motor over by taking the gas out of the car, pouring the gas onto the motor.And then lighting it on fire and watch the motor turn over !

    seems to me like you might have 2 hot wires going to the starter.
    or the started is bad.

    I mean how can you give someone help without looking at this car for this type problem?

    I mean with a screenname like that NO CLUE and his car was fine until he polished his DIZZY and now it will not start...CMON ...

    I bet next time he will just leave those RICE ideas alone huh....



    Oh so you don't think my advice is useless I will help....


    You need the following

    starter
    wiring harness
    ecu
    battery
    ignition switch
    and maybe a new DIZZY
