My car still wont turn start. I bought a new battery and it still wont turn on!!!!!! It sounds like if its flooded but i let sit for like 2 weeks and tried it again and it still wont turn on..I took it to Pep Boys and they say they couldnt do anything cuz i have to many modifications and stuff....Can any body help??????? or Can someone recommend someplace to get it checked out??

That is really broad. You should probably start with plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, then if it comes down to it, maybe a coil. CHeck to see if you're getting spark with an ohm meter before you spend all of that money though. Give the plugs a change, there could be an excessive gap from old age and such, or they just might be burnt out. They're not expensive anyway. If its still not turning over then invest in a distributor cap and rotor (cheap set, 10 15 bucks), and if it comes down to it, a coil. Also, it could be an EGR valve stuck open. If it happens when you're engine is cold, the EGR isn't supposed to be open thus not making ti start.

First, pull a plug, and have someone crank it while you hold it (connected to the wire and wearing thick gloves ) to the valve cover or the threads inside and see if it sparks. If so, check them all for fouling. Then if they are all game, move to the fuel setup. Make sure you have fuel flowing in and your injectors are firing.

i had a problem where the key would turn but it wouldn't crank. ignition was the problem, had to whack it with a long screwdriver a couple times before it would go >:|

I took it to an Electric specialist and he thinks it might be the ignition module........

Mine did the same thing after I hooked a zex kit up that runs through your fuel regulator. Think that made it run really rich, I cleaned the spark plugs and it it helped a lot, it was running very very rich!

K....Last night i was racing alot and I ended up blowing my radiator....and like white evaporated smoke was coming out of my exhaust when i turn it on....is that part of a blown radiator or maybe i need oil or ...can anybody help???

[mackdaddy240]

Did the motor get hot? if it did you might have blown your head gasket. If not the radiator might have just blow water through the intake and its just burning the radiator fluid and water up, it should go away after a little drive if its still blowing white smoke and getting hot, then u need a new radiator and a new head gasket. I just changed mine dont pay somone $800 to do it its not that hard just make sure and take your head to a machine shop and have them check it out first. Good luck
