My car is toast. What should I do?

[BlkZoomZoom]

and answer my mf question.

 

[azian6er]

maybe an electrical connector came loose somewhere?

reset the ecu the way I told you and see if the problem is still the same.

If it were electrickle why would the car oof worked fine then cut

if it were electrickal it would of been like that the first time he turned it on not, while driving?

Please explaine how you feel its electrickle?

Please learn how to spell before you talk to me. I have a problem talking with idiots.

And you are doing no good for the guy by telling him his motor is dead. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Motors usually make a noise when they blow they don't usually go quietly. A rod cutting loose at 5k rps makes a hell of a noise.

The reason I said it was electrical is because he said that his temp gauge was pegged when the key was on. There is no way the engine can be that hot without the engine running. Now please stop trying to question me and do not jack the mans thread.

I still dont see how the car would of started the first time if this were the case, all variables being the same, it should perform the same.

Why would the car start then and not now?

possible loose connection at a connector somewhere.


did you mess with the fuel rail at all when you took it out? The fuel injector clips all still connected?

First, if you did not hear a BANG, feel a BANG, or see internals flying from underneith your car, the engine is not toasted. Please do not listen to fools on this forum who apparently were kicked off before and now are back to annoy the **** outta us again.

Second, this very well seems to be an electical issue. but also tied into your coolant bypass mod. I would suggest going back, and putting the car back to stock, and go from there.

 

[azian6er]

also there may be more thain one problem at hand (with such a mod being done there are plenty of variables)

IF IT WERE SIMPLY ELECTRICKLE, WHY WOULD IT START, RUN, & THEN CUT OUT. IT WOULD OF DONE THE SAME THING THE FIRST TIME HE TURNED THE KEY

IF NOT Please explain HOW its possible

dude, do you even read others' posts?

read my last post.

Listen to boostisgood, retrace your steps and start over. Check injector connections, spark plug connections, and any other connection you may have messed with. And please don't listen to fools like IM STILL HERE.

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

first off - electrical-

If he didn't place the harness correctly, or didn't snap a connector correctly s*** happens.

 

[boostisgood]

IM STILL HERE, I ran my car for 15 miles after I twisted my #3 rod, AND KILLED A HONDA CIVIC WHILE AT IT. So with a blown engine, you CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR.

That is besides the point, this is NOT a case of a blown engine, there is nothing here that this guy described that would say "blown engine". This is something that the PCM did not like, and is not allowing the car to start. IF a car is in the red, it will shut down, and will not restart until the car cools down. I did this last winter trying to get up my hill on my Potenzas. The car died (was overheating) and in 20 minutes restarted with NO ISSUES.

Here seems to be something electical (but tied to the cooling system) that is showing an overheat and not allowing the car to start.

Now, please dont let this guys thread turn into a flamewar on who is smarter/better mechanic because FIRST YOU WILL LOSE, and second this guy needs help. You wanna go that route, start something in flamewars, and see if I post.

Listen Ass Hole It Can Make Noise But A Broken Rod Aint The Only Variable Of A Blown Engine


As For The Idiot s***, I Dont Care About My Spelling, I Aint In School. If You Want To **** With Me Bring It On Vaginal Wart, Im Ready And Willing

As You Can See "im Still Here", You ******* Puke

Move the **** back you just got (jacked)

Sorry, I went to reset the ECU properly this time. I'm back, same results.

BlkZoomZoom: OK, the lights I see are ABS, e-brake, and oil pressure(i called it oil can originally, but just figured out the correct terminology). NO CEL

The temp gauge is pegged the second I slide the key in. It was cranking when I first pulled over, but now it does not crank at all.

Honestly there could have been a pop or something when it died, but I can't remember. If there was something, it wasn't terribly loud.

Sorry if I missed a question, I'm having trouble keeping track of all the posts.

Oh, and IM_STILL_HERE has been IGNORED

 

[mp5jeff]

engines smell like "toast" when they are blown? news to me...wonder if they taste like toast also?

 

[mp5jeff]

oh yea, i ran 13s at the track with a shattered piston IM_STILL_HERE...and i have proof, as in timeslips, people at teh track, and pics of a shattered piston..also a vid of a shitload of smoke coming out behind my car when i was going down the track.

 

[peepsalot]

Everyone please ignore the troll, or take it somewhere else. Thank you for the help so far.

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

If you are sure you have checked all fuses, underhood and that pesky 10amp fuse under the dash. I say bring it to the dealer. Mention nothing about your throttlebody and intake spacers. Ask only for diagnois, let them deal with it.

 

[mp5jeff]

agreed peeps..but it def sounds like electrical problem imo.

 

[boostisgood]

This is the last time I will acknowledge this person. I have posted for a BAN on your IP in the staff only section. People like you need to not be on the forums, as you do nothing to actually contribute, but will do everything to bring down a great forum community.

As far as what I did or didnt do with my car, its all up to you to decide. Like I said, I TWISTED A ROD, not put it through the block. Ask anyone here who has some sense of mechanical skills, and they will teill you, a car will run like that.

 

[strongbear0]

DUDE Im ALL FOR YOU GETTING A QUICK FIX OUT OF THIS

IM BEING REALISTIC

I AINT SAID "ITS A BLOW ENGINE

I SAID SMELL IT TO SEE IF IT SMELLS LIKE TOAST< BECAUSE THATS WHAT A BURNT ENGINE SMELLS LIKE (FOR SOME REASURANCE)

AND TO SWITCH BACK HIS COOLANT MOD (AS THIS MAY BE A OVERHEATING ISHUE)

SO TO THESE ASS HOLES LOOKING SOR s***, **** YOURSELVS!

IM STILL HERE: "It sound like you blew your block"

Now you can (stfu) and (gtfo) cause you are not wanted. If you are this annoying on line you must be a total looser in person. I really feel sorry for your parents, it's a shame to waste a brain on a POS like you.

 

[boostisgood]

Its MAtty P the assclown, and Ban has been adressed already.
