i dont know much about cars except that my car wont start. one day i was late to work so i decided to drive a little bit faster then usual. i was goin 100mph at about 4-5000 rpm and it overheated. when i got back from work i flushed the radiator and put coolant and water. after i did that it was still over heating and smoking badly even when i was making sure i was driving slow and staying under 3000 rpms. another problem was that i couldnt start the car when ever it was hot, and when it would start i had to keep jumpin on the gas becaouse it sounded like it was barely getting any fuel. i also noticed that oil was coming out from somewhere because the was i light layer of oil on the inside of my hood. the other day i was driving down the freeway and as i exited he car stalled and wouldnt start again. i pushed it to a parking lot and checked my oil and there was nothing noticed that there was some grey liquid mixed with my oil in some parts. i dont know what to do right now my parents wont help me out, they expect me to payleft, which was weird because i checked it a couple days before that and it had a good amount in it. so i added oil once again. i tried to start the car again and was cranking but wasnt starting. today i decided to take off the valve cover off and i for everything and right now its juss sitting in my drive way. any of you guys know what could be wrong or what are my options? so far i could either pull my car to a shop with a uhaul for 55 bucks or buy my friends ZC for 550 thats sitting in his crx right now. <U>HELP!!</U>

 

oil mixed with coolant, man o man, sorry bout ur luck, was there any coolant leaking anywhere, head. Hoses ect when u first noticed it, start lookin for a new motor!!! or have fun doing a Overhaul!!!

 

btw did u notice any coolant being pushed back out from the overfill tank, i can think u either cracked the head or head gasket damage, good luck!

 

umm head gasket?

 

That sucks man, buy your friends zc, and install it in your car.
Best of luck

 

i saw coolant leaking somewher in the exhaust, and i think there was oil in my overfll tank. wont a zc be down grading my boosted si?

 

is 550 bucks good for a complete zc swap, its in his crx right now so i dont think it would be that hard?
