Put batt. in backwards by accident, replaced alt. and alt. hot wire as they were burnt up. but wont start, motor turns over but wont crank. could it have burnt up solenoid

check ignition module, you may have fried it, if motor turns over the solenoid is o.k. -- your probably not getting any fire to the plugs, check to see if you are getting any spark at plugs

1998 Skylark wont start, but turn over (clicking from alternator) battery fairly new.

Are you getting fire to the plugs?

Are you getting fuel?

"Won't start" doesn't tell me anything.
