Answer 1

Make sure that the motor is not in gear. If it is in gear, the motor will not turn over. I can't tell you how many times that has happened.

Answer 2

first off talk english so i could understand you when you do that i would be glad to help you

Answer 3

"could not get it to start or turn over" -- sorry, the description of your symptoms is ambiguous

What happens exactly when you turn the key - do you hear the solenoid click? does the starter motor spin?  does it engage the flywheel and turn it over at a normal rate of speed?

Answer 4

Didn't put Diesel in it did you??? Take to the shop as it has issues>

Answer 5

If it wont start or even turn over, it is a loose battery cable or a dead battery, or a bad solenoid, or the starter is hung up.
