95 lx, great deal, wont start

[SLOWdelawareEG]

i bought my 95 lx sedan back from my buddy yesterday for $200. we traded cars last winter, he got the accord and he gave me his 95 dc4, which i subsequently boosted and sold(on this site at that!!). he drove the accord for 2 months, thrashed it, parked it, and now after sitting for 6 months, it wont turn over. it has fuel and spark. i hate to post such a noobish thread, but, any ideas on what my problem may be? my diag skills leave much to be desired, so im all ears.

not bad for $200!!!!

Can you ask him your buddy what it did when it stopped running. It has fuel and spark, is the timing right? Maybe timing belt jumped or broke? Main Relay problem? Did he overheat it? Look at the oil, is it creamy? Smell the radiator water, smell like exhaust? Check compression in each cylinder. Good Luck.

just curious, how big are the wheels? and how far is it dropped?
