so is the belt still around the p/s pump pulley? if so you should take it off as the pump will burn up. did you try the plug thing. also u might want to try n tap the starter while someones tries to crank it.

ok well not that you said that. how long did you run the car with no fluid? or is there fluid? try taking the belt completely off and starting it. do that before pulling plugs.

You unhooked the hose to the P/S pump and drained the fluid, then drove the car with the belt turning the pump....... and you didn't foresee a problem? I can't believe some of the things you guys are doing to your cars and then seem suprised when you have problems.

Wow........ just WOW.

I'm glad you got it fixed... as for the other "problem" of having too much power that all you do is spin the tires... well, that's a good problem. LOL.
