Can't get the car to start.

Car overheated now wont start coolant. Added more but the level didn't change much after that. Also if it was massively overheated. Repeat this up to two more times (for a total of three ten minute.

You could get exhaust into the radiator or coolant out of the exhaust. She started to drive and it started to buck and jerk and would not go when she pressed on the gas. A leakdown test and compression test will also help determine internal prob.

The car shut off when i got almost to the house. Aadded some coolant when it was cooled down and the car didn't want to start. Drove it while overheating now wont start but sounds like it wants to.

I have a 99 sh prelude. Then starting the engine to merge the cold with hot water you will more than likely crack the a head or block from the rush of cold water. Discussion starter · #1 · oct 5, 2011.

My 2004 honda accord overheated yesterday while waiteing in a drive thru now it wants to start my it doesnt. Alright well my car was overheating pretty bad the other day. I have a 1993 318is, which started having overheating problems out of nowhere.

#3 · jun 9, 2010. There was a cut on hose so the coolant got all over the engine bay. Replace the radiator hose.it starts fine for a couple of days.then it won't start.it only cranks.

Car overheated now wont start coolant. When that happens it burns coolant. Then recheck the engines condition to see if it stalls out again.

Oil is on the low end, but not low, coolant is adequate, and battery functioning ok. That may be all you did if you even did that, because the bottom of the engine is kept cool for a while with oil. Did you start the engine before puting the jug of water in or while you put the jug of water in??

When the head gasket is gone, coolant will leak to the combustion room. After getting a ride to work and 6 hours later i returned back to my car and the same thing is occurring (engine won’t turn). A couple of weeks ago my 96 4.6 overheated on the freeway and shut itself down.

Before doing this work, i drained the coolant and did a flush with distilled water. I had it towed home and tried to start it that night but it only cranked over and over but wouldn't start. This morning the temp gauge said my car was hot so she checked the water and there was none.

It's also possible you have a coolant leak and that's what caused the over heating. I need help after my 2006 300c hemi overheated. I added coolant, had it towed to house and left overnight to cool.

The starter will turn, but it will not fire up. Now attempt to start and cranks, but wont start. The coolant inside the combustion room can cause the engine to lose power and, eventually, no combustion.

It was past the red line. After unscrewing the bottom radiator drain plug to drain coolant, i ran a yard water hose (with on/off hand grip for control) from the top radiator inlet hole and flushed out the old coolant. If the engine does stall out and begins to overheat, then the engine’s head gasket maybe burned or the thermostat maybe stuck.

I took the thermostat completely out (which had a hairline crack along the stem. Crank over motor with plugs out , see if water squirts out of plug holes. Checked coolant and very little/none.

Water on the ground could be a blown rad hose or cracked rad. A blown head gasket will also cause unexplained coolant loss (can’t be found by a pressure test). It was ticking when i gave it gas and losing power and the whole engine was smoking for a while after it shut off.

Cause giving the engine a gut full of cold water while the engine isnt running. Added water to the overflow tank and it sucked about 3/4 of that back into the radiator over severa minutes. I replaced the original water pump, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses and radiator cap.

If that gets overheated, you'll no longer be driving the car because the engine seizes when it's overheated to the point the oil is burning dry. If the engine won't rotate, it's toast. Check for the coolant leaks and top off the coolant when the leak is fixed.

I had some leftover dexcool and distilled water in the trunk, so i would top it off and then get to driving again. My car has several leaks and i now it's leaking coolant. The car got overheated bc of a coolant leak from the main line (the radiator hose to the engine).

Don't sound like its seized. So after work she drove to the nearest water supply and filled it. 10min later, the whole thing would happen all over again.

Try rotating the engine by hand using a socket and large ratchet on the front crankshaft bolt. It all started with the radiator a crack in the radiator we would put water when it overheated and a lot of smoke would come out but kept driving it while overheating now it wont start. So it's very possible you have a bad head gasket.

I have a 2000 honda accord will crank but overheats i changed the battery and the crank sensor drove it around the block one time the gauge on the temperature was 3 bars away from the overheat now the car will not crank i need help. I pop the hood and there is coolant all over the engine bay from the coolant overflow tank cap popping open. I would wait 20min or so, let everything cool down, pop the coolant cap and let the pressure out, and it would seem like there was now no coolant in the system.

Therefore, your car can’t get started. Sound like a blown head gasket, check for water in the oil also pull plugs , see if they are wet. The interesting part came when i completely cleaned and flushed the coolant reservoir tank with a the yard water hose.

The car started smoking so i pulled over and the coolant was all over the side of the outside of the car so i popped the hood and it was all over under the hood also on everything. I let the car cool down and i tried to put more coolant in and it was leaking out the plastic bottle all over stuff then the leaking slowed down. About a year ago it overheated.

The most common causes of overheating include low coolant level (including that due to sudden large leaks), a faulty thermostat, a plugged radiator, a faulty radiator pressure cap, collapsed hoses, non functioning cooling fans, and a faulty water pump or drive belt. Checked and changed the timing belt. I didn't drive the car very long when it was overheated but i pulled into a parking lot and let it sit for a while.

Does the car turn over but not start or wont turn over period ?
