ok i think i've solved 80 % of my problem i finally tore everything apart and narrowed it down to the starter i think ( when i try to turn it over it jus trys but it sounds like a dead battery but its not and after several tries the starter is just burning up and the ground wire to the battery post well lets say i cant touch it?) can someone tell me if this sounds like the starter? thanks a bunch!

I'm thinking the motor is froze up .... the starter can not move it so it ulls excessive current causing the hot wire ...
I'd try to remove the starter , and secure it try to turn it ... if it spins freely then it's likely the motor

(fuel pump, starter,ingnition, coil pack and cam sensor.) havent done anything with the crank sensor yet..car is still non running from what you said earlier that the motor may be froze up? i dont know how that would work all pulleys including the cams and crank .. when i turn it over its wanting to spin but its a slow hard spin any more suggestions? thanks

Have you tried a compression check on the cylinders ??? Might have broke a piston

Man I hope it's not a piston! But I would drain the oil and see if there is anything unusual
