There is a probability greater than zero that the Tercel is dead.

Sounds like the starter isn’t connected to anything.

Do you own a Sportcross by any chance?
I can’t seem to recall if it was you.

Bugger. If you had said months I’d say shoot some oil in the cylinders and see what happens, maybe just the rings need some help. But five days, nope. Sorry.

I would still try the oil in the spark plug holes trick anyway. We had a 93 civic that did that after sitting a week and once started it was fine and ran a few more years.
Even my GS300 did that on two cylinders after sitting a few weeks, once it started it showed perfect compression and burn zero oil still.

Put the Sportcross engine into the Tercel. Or buy an Altezza.

Wow? What happened? I know you parked it because it was acting up, but was this the reason you parked it? Did the rings lose compression in 5 days? :S

Theoretically, if you were to sell a non running Tercel, how much would it be listed for and what would the OPPO discount be?

This sounds more like the starter pinion has ceased to be or you’ve found a spot where the ring-gear is stripped. For the latter, put it in gear and push it a foot and try again. For the former, pull the starter. It really doesn’t sound like it’s turning the engine.

I guess, hope it isn’t? A new starter or flywheel would likely be easier to deal with than no conpression

If it’s seriously dead, I’d take 500 no lowballers I know what I have which is a lawn ornament with plaid seats

Listening to this again at a higher volume. Motor drone is all you can hear. Definitely not cranking.
