Alright, i've been searching for awhile and cant seem to find too much help. I have a 1994 integra LS, it has 132k miles on it. I was driving it today, and as i was slowing down to make a stop, then engine died. No noises or anything, just sounded like it fell out of gear into neutral. When it got down to about 2k rpm, all the lights came on and it stalled. When i went to turn the car back on, it wont turn over at all. The car has run perfectly until now, the only thing that i can think of is about a week ago, it missed when i went to start the car, wouldnt turn over at first. Started up fine on the second try though. I dont know too much about cars because i havent had any hands on experience. I've been reading up to learn as much as i can right now. I was just wondering if any had this problem, or had any ideas, or just in general what could be the problem. Or could it just be any number of things?

All the other information I know is that its been about 5k miles since the last oil change (3k or so of that was all highway) so it'd been awhile and i was going to change the oil very soon. Also, its seems thats its been using a little bit of coolant, and sometimes i get bubbles in my radiator hose.

So any suggestions, thoughts, ideas, things to look for would be much appreciated. I'm tight on money right now and would rather not have to take it into the shop for them just to look at it.

Thanks a lot
Mike

 

If it doesn't even turn over, you've got a dead short somewhere or your battery took a ****.

 

I do know my battery isnt dead. I can still turn on the lights, the radio, windhield wipers, etc. When i try to turn on the car, sometimes it sounds like it almost wants to turn over, and sometimes it just grinds. So its most likely an electrical problem then? Spark plugs maybe? I'm just trying to think of what would make it die while its already running.
Thanks

 

if you dont know too much about cars, you will probably have to take it to your mechanic. It could be a lot of things that would cause this to happen
