If a starter is able to crank the engine but it won't start you usually have either an electrical or fuel problem. It's also remotely possibly that it's compression. If an engine has proper fuel, spark and compression, it will start when you crank it. So your challange is to find out which part isn't working right. Start with fuel. Spray a little starting fluid into the air intake while someone tries to start the engine. If it starts briefly when you're spraying starting fluid, you probably have a fuel delivery problem. That could be injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, relay, fuse... who knows what until you check into it. If it doesn't start with starting fluid, check the spark. Pull a plug wire and attach it to a spare sparkplug and set the plug on a solid metal part of the engine. Have a helper crank the engine while you watch the plug. If you have a good spark, it might just be out of timing. In any case, you'll need to start isolating the problem. Find out which part isn't working then you'll know what to replace/repair.
There is no such engine as a Cummins 2500 Diesel.
The timing of the engine is off or the spark plug wires have been hooked up incorrectly.
If the timing is off by a few degrees the engine can start but will run rough. More than a few (depending on the engine) it will not start.
The security is keeping it from starting which is what it is supposed to do.
Needs a tune up you are burning too rich, too much gas in the carburetor.
Does it have fuel, spark, compression?
a lot of factors to consider... will the engine rotate at all?
What causes it to rotate is the rifling in the barrel. What causes it to continue to rotate after it leaves the barrel is centrifugal force.

Start the engine up. The engine will rotate the pulley on the alternator and charge the battery.
Almost every car ever will not start without a serpentine belt. The serpentine bell acts similarly to a pulley. It's movement causes everything else to rotate and move. If you look at an engine, there's a number of circular shapes where the serpentine belt goes. It uses traction to rotate them.
When you attempt to start engine, nothing happens-- similar to weak or dead battery. You may hear "click" and lights may dim, but engine will not rotate
Grab the key you inserted and turned to start it and rotate it back toward you, the engine will stop.
A conventional Ford marine engine will rotate clockwise for the front end
When the engine can no longer rotate.
Yes, a loose distributor can rotate so that the ignition timing for the engine is lost.
