ok my 240sx overheated a bit the other nite and she stalled when i came to a stop sign and i couldent get it started it was turning over compleatley but still wouldent start so i tryed to turn the key again and it sounds like the part of the starter that gose on the fly wheel isent clicken or whatever it is i aint great with cars but i tryen to use the words buddys were sayen lol
like the car turns over just dosent seem to wonna run when i jump start the car it started but it boggs a bit at low rpm so after i jump start it and i turn it off i can start it with the key like once then if i try again it just turns over again i duno whats up with her please help me my 240s sick
also when i goto turn on my heat nothing but cold air come out of my vents even when my car is overheating just cold air comes in i dont even have my A/C connected
maybe yuo ran out of coolant and messed something up ?
what coulda messed up like worped head or something o and when i do jump start it it back fire like crazy
It’s hard to tell based on what we’ve been given. Check the coolant indeed, but i’d say just stop driving the car as much as possible and get it to a shop to be looked at as soon as you can.
Driving + overheating = damage = $$…
Could possibly be a head gasket issue if you’re noticing white smoke/power loss.
Hopefully it’s something minor!
Good luck.
like ites wierd u no when u goto turn to key to start ur car and u hear everything turning over well when i go do it its l;ike missing a sound that used to be there when it was turning over its like something isent turning with the rest of the motor that was befor i duno i make it vary complicated to explain sorry everyone plus i cant spell for shit
i dunno, but if it makes a noise that is unusual like a piece of flapping plastic…then…altenator? happened to me last week. had to friggin parellel park manually in DT toronto.
i think i blew i head gasket EHHHH but im lucky cuz the girl im seeing rite now her uncle is a NASCAR genius lol and drag racing genius he raced rocket trucks and shit should be interesting he said we r gonna built my motor up all nascar style useing graphite headgaskets ands tuff its gonna be sweet
we cant jump start it now and when we get it oing for a few secs its like oly 2 cylinders r going and its just puffs of white smoke
Yup, head gasket.
Make sure whoever fixes it does it right, it’ll impact reliability in the long run.
Good luck.
Actually have you made sure that the belt for the alt/water pump is still there and turning?
The fact that it won’t run unless hooked to another battery/car and the fact it overheated could easily be attributed to that…
And of course the lack of a sound that was there before…
well we hooked up a booster cables and another car and it still woundent run and ya the belts r all there and turning i duno tomorrow im gonna look more in depth with it.
