So today my car randomly stalled on me and then wouldn't start.
Basically, I started the car, backed up a 20-30 feet, stopped, put it into 1st gear, started to let the clutch out, and she just stalled. I thought I just stalled my car, but then I realized the clutch wasn't fully let out yet. I went to start her and she just keeps turning over. My friends and I tried to push start her, and she sounded like she wanted to start, but won't. There's compression cause you could hear it in the exhaust and she's getting air. I have to check the fuel and spark tomorrow, though the spark plugs look fine. As for checking the fuel, I'm just going to unbolt the fuel line from the filter and see if there's anything there. Then for spark, I don't have a tester, but I'm going to pull the distributor and see how that is. Timing belt was just done last winter so I highly doubt that jumped a tooth or broke. Oil and coolant are fine, nothing is mixed so the head gasket is fine. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. |

first thing is check for error codes, from there whether it has codes or not, it will give you or us an idea the next step.
