Hi, I have a 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo I have been messing around with a little bit and I have been working on getting it to run. Now, I have a weak spark(but spark nonetheless), fuel, and some compression. But when i try to turn it over, it doesn't even try to crank! What should i try next? or, how much would it cost for me to send it to a garage and have it fixed?

costs vary all over but charge battery and take to autoparts/tires stores to check condition including load test. if battery is ok then have starter tested for draw if you take it off a autoparts can check that as well.

What I meant was the motor just turns over and over but doesn't attempt to start and run. I have already but a new battery and rebuilt the starter.

you need to clarify on stuff like that in future. check items in pic to specs. air gap shold be .010 you might need a brass feeler gauge for dist air gap. then check #15 at control module for power and ground wire to control module. if car still not starting get back to me as I have to go to a different manual for this. also check all your fuses to make sure they are making contact.
