Ma boi was driving home and his car died on him, i have narrowed the possibility to a siezed motor, because the oil is bad and that he hasnt replaced it in awhile..when i start his car, the solinoid engages, but doesnt seem to crank tha flywheel. so now his car is on the side of tha road for the night. does anyone knw any ways to start a seized engine from the streets and not from doing any major work on the side of the road! thanks for your help..

 

doesnt matter if the oil was old...unless he had no oil and the car sat forever it probly isnt seized if he was just driving the thing. its gotta be something else. sounds mechanical...


possibly has something with the clutch linkage being broke and the clutch being stuck in gear. need details...


what exactly happend when u say it "died"? first of all what motor and what chasis? some more in depth details are needed in order for anyone to help..............................................

 

alternator could have went....

yep. very possible. if it just bogged down and "died" sure why not...

but what does "died" really mean... let us step back and truly analyze the meaning of the word... in modern conversational english one may refer to themselves as having "died laughing". However, does that nessisarilly mean that the person was infact desceased during the laughter process? The answer is no. Further analysis tells us that "died laughing" is merely an expression derived from the intensity of the laughter that one was exhibiting during the proposed "fit of laughter" that he or she was refering to in conversation. So we begin to question how does this example apply and or compare to our current "seized motor" model? In the next paragraph we will begin dissecting the circumstances that have led us to this "interpretive crossroad" so to speak....blah blah blah im going to bed.

 

timing belt went and the piston ripped off an exhaust valve and now it's lodged between teh piston and the cylinder head = no start.

 

if it would have been the alternator, all the lights would have dimmed and he would have progressively lost power.

 

you can try popping the clutch.
when my first motor locked up
i popped the clutch and managed to make it to my driveway.

 

so does the starter kicker in and tries to start?

try to turn the crank at the crank pulley use 17mm or 19mm depending on the motor with the spark plugs out and if it turns than at least u know its not locked up

try to jump the car b/c it may be a weak battery and get the alternator check too

if it seized b/c of water being sucked in than pour brake fluid into the spark plug holes and turn the at the crank pulley by hand back and forth to break it loose and flush out the oil a few times...

if the motor turns but doesn't start than replace the ICM in the distributer

 

my motor is fukd 2

 

Really?... bringing back a 3.5 year old thread just to tell us this???

:facepalm:

 

hey! we all grieve in difrent ways...haha.

 

^^Hes a noob Hint hint

 

Did Motor ever made any noise before dieing like knocking or grinding?
was the battery light on? and when you turn the car on does the electronics work? Get a multimeter and test battery.
Did the car die in gear or out of gear?

 

Battery

 

something like this happen to a friends car


and it was his battery...


check if the lights turn on right if they look lower its the battery
