My baby is hurtin
Hey all, its been a long long time since i've been on here, had my car in storage for almost 3 years while i was in japan. just pulled it out yesterday, and was on the way home when it died. Engine, electrical, everything shut off. Once we got it to the shoulder of the road a ton of smoke came out of the engine bay for about 30 seconds then stopped, after a min or 2 the lights came back on and everything works fine except the engine wont turn over. It was dark when it happened and my flashlight had dead batteries:053:
I checked the oil but it was full, radiator was cool enough to touch. The other wierd thing is that the temp gauge was acting crazy, even with it turned off and just the lights on the temp gauge was bouncing up and down in the red. Unfortunately i was not driving it at the time and was in my other car when it happened so I cannot say for sure if the engine went hot before it happened or what. I do know the battery light came on but thats the only indication I know of.
I had it towed to a shop and will be giving them a call later today after they check it out but I thought mabye an idea or 2 could come from here.:confused:
