I just bought a 1995 Dakota Sport 4 cyl 5 speed. I drove it home just fine and it started the next day fine too. But when I was backing it out of my driveway, my foot slipped off the clutch and it stalled. After that, when I tried to start it again, it just turned over and over without starting. I thought it may be out of fuel since it was very low when I got it home. But after putting some gas in it, it still wouldn't start and it sounded like the battery was dying. So, I bought and installed a brand new battery and when I first turned the key to start it, there was a loud popping sound or something that came from the front. Then it sounded like the engine was frozen or seized or what-have-you. So I let it be and when I went to start it this morning, nothing happened. All the lights and buzzers work, so I know I hooked the battery up right, but the engine won't do anything. It doesn't make any sound or turn over.
Please help me out here. I don't want to spend $65 to have it towed to a shop only to find out that its something I can fix myself.
