A lot of things can cuse it. One is the ignition module. Have it checked out. GoodluckJoe I recently had the same problem,I changed the ignition module,after approx. 165 miles;same thing. My mech. put a computer scanner on it and found the problem to the MAP sensor. So far, no more problem. ignition module was $80.00 MAP sensor was $30.00
No you were driving and it quit.and if it cranks it is turning over. check for spark at the spark plugs and also for fuel pressure at the injector rail.
THE netural Saftey Switch could B bad .
It could be the starter solenoid
Timing belt?? If there is a section of the timing belt with no teeth on it, it might be turning till it get to that point, slipping causing it to turn over fast, grabbing enough to turn over normal, but would not be able to start because it is now out of time.
A bendix.
If it just cranks and cranks and cranks then it's likely fuel pump. If it died and it won't turn over anymore, likely alternator.
98 Oldsmobile 3.8 cuts off will driving wait a few min's an it cranks back up
If the engine cranks & cranks & cranks before it starts even though it's warmed up already.
if you put downward pressure on the handle it causes gears to move

could be the starter or the solenoid, they arer pron to heating up especially when using headers, peace
i would say you have an injector problem. usually a cloged one can cause that.
it is easier to pedal with longer cranks because you have more leverage but it is not necessarily better to have really long cranks.
try changing your fuel filter, sometimes if it gets clogged the fuel pressure drops to zero causing the engine to stall, when you are cranking I assume you are also pumping the gas (repressurizing the line)
On one had you say it cranks and then you say it won't turn over. Which is it? If it cranks, then that means it IS turning over but just won't start. If it won't crank then it is NOT turning over. We need to know which it is to determine what may be causing this. Repost this with a better description of your situation
