Default CAR IS DOWN!!! PLEASE HELP

ok so i was driving shifting around 4 grand and all of a sudden i hear a grinding noise and my rpm's slowly fall back to zero and my car won't start back up, im assuming its my clutch and it finally gave out because of the smell after it happened, does anyone know what i need to get fixed?

when asking questions give all info available.
will it turn over (When you turn the key to start does anything happen?)
These problems are approached as a flow chart. what works-what dont!

ok, when the key is turned everything sounds normal, but it doesn't turn over it just keeps trying to, all the lights, alarm, stereo etc... are in perfect working order, the car just won't start

ok update, i just tried to jump my car with some cables in hopes that the alternator just needed a little jolt to help it turnover, but that didn't work

When did you install the AEM V2? because it could be the case that it's loosened..

check here


It happend to a few of my friends, one was an EVO and the other one was S2000..
We run into the similar signs that you mentioned...Hope it helps...wish I could help you more but I'm not a mechanic..
