I think the problem we are having with helping you is the fact that you keep saying the battery goes dead after 3 seconds of cranking. Is the battery really dead or is it that the engine is binding causing it to stop cranking???? If it is a elect problem you should be able to pull start it. BUT since it still binds when pulling you have some other problem. I do not feel like it is a cylinder full of fuel/water even though that is the first thing you would look at. The reason is if it was full of a fluid the engine would crank for 3 sec then stop. Next time you tried to crank it would do nothing because the piston would still be up against the fluid. I would still go through the steps to check this.
Pull the valve cover and take out the injectors.
Try cranking it over. Does it spin. If it stops after 3 sec.........
Remove starter and try to turn the engine over with a large screwdriver wedged in the ring rear. Try turning it backwards. Will it move either way. Check to see if the valves are opening and closing. A stuck or sticky valve could be hitting the piston stopping it. Then over time the spring pulls it back in place so it will crank a short while again. Once we rule out the engine we can then start taking off stuff to see what will free it up.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
