Ok im kinda moronic when it comes to engines, quite frankly i'm a computer freak. Well acording to my mechanic neighbor my #3 cylinder on my 1988 Mazda 929 is stuck. It has compression and spark because i just changed the pluggs. This engine was sitting for 1+ years and was hard to start at first and still is. My question is, Is there any tips out there for loosening up the cylinder or should i just pump seafoam through it till i cover the world with smog? Also when explaining what to do please pretend your talking to an idiot. Thanks alot!

Don't know what the guy is telling you. If you have compression, you can roll the engine.....hence nothing is "stuck". What you might have is an accumulation of crud in the cylinders and the valves may be sticking in their seats.

But in thinking about it a good dose of "castor oil" would probably fix it (humans use that for what you need for your fuel system.....a good flushing).

Hard starting easily translates to no fuel in the engine which means it can't suck it in like it is supposed to cause the carb is crudded up. I'm assuming it has a carb. If injected, your injectors are crudded up; same problem, just different parts.
Get some Barryman's Chem Tool and follow the directions. You probably got some varnished up carburetor orfices that need cleaning. Also get some Marvel Mystery Oil and put it in the crankcase per the directions on the container. Leave it in there for awhile (50 miles) and drain and change oil and filter.

Give the gas stuff a little time as it has to soften the crud then flush it out. Couple hundred miles should do it.

It sounds to me like the mechanic ways telling him he had stuck piston RINGS, as it sounds like it is pumping oil in one cylinder.
