HELP ASAP!!!!!! 92 Honda civic dx
HELP PLEASE SOMEONE!!!
Car wont' start or fire up to start at all.
Before getting everything installed car was working ok but not great, next day would die and wouldnt start at all, smoke was coming from the starter and the black piece was loose but put back in and it was sparking up.
New distributor, cap & rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, valve cover gasket, fuel filter. Had to replace spark plug wires because one of them was soiled with OIL. My car before told needed all of that randomly started to overheat, replaced bypass hose cause it had bursted, than another hose bursted, and still come and go, adding coolant back n forth, consisted of clouds of smoke under my car ( have no muffler ) , and car would accelerate very slow, turn off when it wanted, but start back up, turn off, ect. WHAT else could the problem be???? ANY hope left or just junk the car??? HONDA tech please answer honestly ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Engine cold, take the radiator cap off and start the engine and rev it. If stuff blows out of the radiator, the head gasket is blown. This is probably why all the hoses keep blowing out. It sounds like the engine has been seriously damaged by overheating.

I got an update yesterday of a compression test being done, guess got it to start but coolant went everywhere, was thinking that my thermostat had a build up. Not sure i'll get another update tonight...
