It doesn't crank or anything? usualy it will give signs that it is going out and not just die and lock up. Locking up is alot of metal on metal, that makes noise. What does it do when you turn the key?

it never made any noises, just shut down. it wont even turn with a wrench on the crank. you try the key and it just clicks like a bad starter.

it was right in the middle where it always was. there was absolutly nothing out of the ordinary. thats why im so confused. i was told it could have hydrolocked but there is no water in the hole. none in the intake tract and none in the cylinders that i could see.
