question = i was driving down the road and it died on me. It wouldn't
tun over, i check the starter and it wasn't engaging the fly wheel so i
change it now it wont turn over. It sounds like it isn't getting no fire
but cant tell.
A few other Chevy questions.

Just to clarify-
Does the engine crank over, but not start?
Does’t even crank over the starter just spins
If the starter spins but does not spin the engine, then you either have a bad starter, or
the incorrect starter for your car, or the flywheel is damaged. None of these would
explain why the engine stalled out to begin with.
You could try to manually turn the engine about a quarter turn using a wrench on the
crank pulley bolt, then try to start it. This puts the flywheel in a different position, and
rules out a damaged flywheel.
