engine gone? you tell me

[Tom]

damn dude that s**t sucks, but atleast ya got a new battery.

 

[Ravage70]

check grounds and fuses
if all seems fine then u can pull ur head as a last resort to inspect the damage
if u know of someone mechanically inclined that can look at ur car that would be the best thing

 

[SoN Of Ek]

ok ok i got my car started but it might be bad news, it statred up but i heard like a banging noise at the sound of my pistons or something i think should change my oil so let me know what going down

 

[Bobo_686]

u probably fried ur starter...if u just hear a click it could be the starter motor, or it oculd be the relay in the control circuit, check ur fuses

smoke from teh neg battery termianl means that there is an increased resistance in the line, check the ground from the chassis to the battery, take sandpaper and sand it down to bare metal, and reground with a new screw.

U might have cracked ur block same thing happened to a friend of mine and 3 dayws later the car turned on but the pistons were hitting so his engine was gone.

 

[SoN Of Ek]

[anekin007]

seems like the engine hydolocked on you. when your doing your oil changed.. flush it. since you change the spark plugs.. did you change the spark plug wires? when a car hydrolocks.. it ruins the spark plugs and the wires.. try to see if theres any water in your cylinders also..

 

[SoN Of Ek]

ok i have change my oil and added extra cleaners i still have a knocking sound, very little though i cant hear it when i drive but when its at a idle u can hear it so i dont know what to do now let me know if you can help thanks for everyone help so far you help so much >=p

[aryohrling]

Okay, did the same to my car...take the intake off and dry out your throttle body and everything. pull your plugs, crank that b***h over to get water out...check your compression while you're at it...If you bent a valve, or rod you'll see it in compression. I also readjusted my valve tappets because I definately bent a valve in my first cylinder bank. What happens is the water doesn't combust just creates interior pressure in the cylinders. I have a lot of tapping...no money to pull the head and redo it right now...but the car still drives, just have barely any compression in the first cylinder and a LOT less power and torque.

 

[SoN Of Ek]

UPDATE:!! aryorling had it on the money! when i took it to my swap guy he told me that i had lost compression in my No.4 and it might be warped and i have to replace a couple things, BUT! I did get a hold of a motor! for a dam penny price so i have crunch the number together and be well worth it to get this motor that only has 20k miles on it! so to everyone with the help thanks!
