Engine bay extremely HOT
I drove my car for about 10-15 minutes and turned the car off....and tried to start it after about 5-10 minutes, and it won't start. its definitely not the ignition, and the car engages. even if i give it gas, it struggles and eventually stalls. the engine bay is extremely hot, so do i need to replace my fan or radiator? i gave it around 5 minutes before starting it again, and it started, and the RPM's stayed around 1/2....the entire engine bay was shaking, looking as if its about to stall again.....if anyone knows anything please tell me......thanks alot

Did it overheat? Was the temperature gauge on the hot? You can't be so vague. It could be a several different things so you have you give information to eliminate things.

this happened to me once, same scenerio. turned out that my rings were worn out and i lost compression. not to say this is your problem, but you never know. try a compression test and see what happens.

leave the engine to idle..... then see if the cooling fan comes on at all...... if it dosent i would look at the coolant temp sensor being bad to turn the fan on.... or worse case maybe the fan is bad whichh i highly doubt.
