Engine problem or something.... Options

[kash1355]

so my car broke! lol .. well it was just the e-brake cable, but it was weird cuz the car wouldn't move and it sounded like the engine was goin to die.

And now .. after i got that fixed. My engine won't start! It's not the car battery cuz thats happend to be twice (the lights still work). 2 weeks prior tho I noticed that when i started the car, it sounded like the engine was goin to turn off. I'm not really and engine person so i dont know.

Could it be that the engine is flooded with gas or the alternator is gone?

(Just for info purposes my engine has 203 000 KM on it)

hmmm .. is this a mechanic job or something easy to fix?

[LewFX]

took me 20 minutes to do

then again, who knows what the real problem is.

[celicast3sgte]

its a bolt on sensor at the throttle body, if you dont know what im talking about already and have a metric socket set i dont recommend you try it alone. BUT if you need to save the money yes it could be done. let us know, we're here to help.

its really not that hard, but we need to narrow down the problem for sure.

[celicast3sgte]

its really not all it requires is mechanical common sense, dont over tighten small bolts, remember where things go, use a gasket if they give you one. its very simple. BUT lets make sure we know what the problem is before you go replacing parts.

is there any questions you could ask me about it to narrow down the question? cuz i can explain everything that happens including the rumbling noise my engine makes..lol
