How would I take out a key the broke in my door?

because i don't know the make ,model or year... it is hard to be specific. let's say the starter and battery are in good working order. does the car have a cam or crank sensor. can you see your vavles if you take the oil cap off? if you can, turn the crank bolt and look to see if the valves on the cam are moving. if not your timing is shot.

why wont my 2001 s10 xtreme start?

Maybe its the starter solenoid if the engine itself isn't locked up. Also you might want to try "short starting" it where you connect a hot wire from the battery directly to the starter relay (completely bypassing the ignition system in the car). If this causes the engine to turn over then you probably have a blown fuse or a loose wire connection between your ignition key switch and the starter.

Either you have a frozen bearing on the crankshaft (ran out of oil) or the timing chain/gear has come out of sinc and one of your valves are interfering with the top of a cylinder unless you just don't know that the starter selenoid or wire is bad, and you just don't know it.

v reg ford ka?

Double check the connection, it may show Volts at the starter connection, but check it as you try to turn the motor over. If the volts drop below 7ish, and you've had the battery volt-drop tested and it's good, you may simply have bad battery cables. A poor ground connection will not let the current flow properly. And a starter may look good, but even new out-of-the-box ones can go faulty soon after installation. For clarity, with the engine crank, but not start - or not crank at all? If it doesn't even TRY to crank with all battery/starter areas OK, check your park/neutral switch on an automatic transmission, or your clutch position switch if you have a manual.
