When you turn the key in your car, the key turns the starter motor, which inturn cranks the flywheel of your motor. Once firing is accomplished the starter is released, as you release the key. If your motor, just cranks and not start, you may have jumped your timing and this will have to be restored by a mechanic, as the timing belt needs changing.

What if your 1998 ford contour is stuck in reverse and the engine will not turnover is the car being stuck in reverse making the car not start?

YESAn automatic transmission car has a safety feature called a "Neutral Safety"It will not allow the starter to work if the shifter is not in either neutral or park. Many new cars will only start in park.On a manual transmission car the transmission being stuck in reverse probably means a serious failure inside the transmission that could jam things up to the point the engine wont start.

What is it when all your lights dashboard gages and radio all turn on on a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus but the car wont start or turnover?

Okay, this might sound stupid, but I've done it before. Make sure the car is in park, if it is in the middle of park and reverse,it won't start. Make sure it has gas, and if nothing else, it's probably your starter or alternator. Take it to the mechanic.
