My 1989 Honda civic hatchback will not turn over. The lights and radio will turn on. When I turn the key to start the engine, it sounds like it is cranking but does not sound like it is turning at all, it keeps making one long medium loud sound.

While someone else cranks the starter motor, remove the oil filler cap and see that the camshaft rotates. If it doesn't, the timing belt may have snapped.
