ok... here i am again.. posting bout my POS DA... just a quick questions 4 ya guys...

here is a quick scenario of what happened.. my car was fine last week... i parked it on friday morn... left for the weekend, got back sun aft and guess what... she wont start.... thing is that she turns over just fine but wont catch... another weird thing bout his is that the exhaust kinda starts to kick in when you feather the gas.. but she still wont start. i towed her to the shop and they are taking 4 ever to even look at her... im thinking its maybe the timing belt, r fuel filter/pump.. ne other suggestions??

 

why would you think its the timing belt? if it is, your motor is completely fucked already... check for spark, then fuel, then do a compression test.. if ya got all three, she should fire up.

some mechanic said it might be that.... well my guy got it running... he said that it was smoking like a bitch for a mn.. but it seems ok... he also said sumthing bout oil and gas in the cylinders.. not sure exactly what he was talking about since his cell was cuttin in and out.. all i know is its running.. for now... but it cost me $90 to NOT find out the problem....

 

just to let you guys know.. the car in my avatar pic is now 4sale!!!!!

This dudeETTE checked that.. its fine.... thanks tho

 

lol sorry!!

check the distributor and wires, you might have a bad wire or something causing it to crap out... im not really sure why it would be doing that.

 

if theres oil in the cylinders then your rings could be bad.. that means your motor needs a rebuild.

well i guess there WAS oil in the cylinders... i replaced my gasket bout a 2months ago and that stopped the leak... but just sopped up the oil in there yesterday....hopefully it will be ok...

 

Could also be bad valve stem seals. Cheaper than a ring job

yea... sad thing is that i have gone through 2 dizzys in the last 6months.... grrrrr

so it better not be that AGAIN...

 

id say change the wires see how it is my car wouldnt start and then it kick over and then die. turned out to be ******* wires. also check ur main relay see if u switch it with a different one(if u can get ur hand on one) if that helps.
