Engine won't turn over Options

[SiN_CeLi]

My plugs and wires are only 7 months old, I don't think it's my starter cus it would make a clicking noise if it was(at least thats what I have heard). The car sounds like it wants to turn over but when I pump the gas nothing happens.I juss wanted to know that if I unplugged one of my spark wires and try to start the car if I should be able to see any kind of spark coming from the wire I unplugged. I know this is kind of a noobish question. I already tried this with my #1 plug wire and I didn't see any spark. I think i might need to replace my distributor cap but I juss wanted to know if u guys could give me some other info. Thanks.

If my engine tried to turn over, I would personally tighten down the mounts. I would hate it if it tried to turn over on me. J/K. I don't know.

The engine should turn over without spark... anyways... you gotta ground the plug to test it for spark. Pull it out of the engine, ground it to the valve cover, then crank.

To test: Try to turn the engine by hand. Use a ratchet and try to turn the engine using the crank pulley. It should turn ok. If not, check to make sure your starter isn't stuck open. If the starter isn't stuck open... your engine might be f***ed. After that, if the engine turns, try to push start. If it works... chances are you got a bad starter. If not... your problems lay elsewhere.
