Ok so my friend has a 3rd gen max that has been sitting out in his yard for about 1 yr. My little bro is going to buy it for $300 as his first project car. Right now he told me that he can't get it to drive, he charged the battery and i think it started but he couldnt get it to move. The car was fully driveable when it was park in my friends yard. It is a standard and i can't think of why it won't start. has any ony else had a problem like this and does any one have any suggestions.

 

My first guess - Brakes seized.

 

i think he meant that they couldn't get it to grab the gears not something to do with the brakes he made it sound more like a clutch problem

 

check the clutch fluid.

It's a project car, so he better start learning

 

thats one thing i told them to check ill have to wait til my bro get home from work to talk to him about it and see if they had a chance to try anything thanks for all the help and ill check back if its anything else

 

Well you did say that you think it started... Did it? If not my problem was the CPS (Crank position sensor) ran like a new car...
