Muttling -> Car trouble......Need mechanical advice. (2/24/2008 8:18:44 PM)
I'm pretty sure the engine is flooded. I've pumped the gas peddle, let it sit for a while but it still won't start. Here's a photo that give you some ideas. http://search.fotki.com/?link=kdsbdkbwwqbbrxksrqsqsfwtd&k=flood&p=42

You need to open up the carbuerator, and let it air out. Oh, and install a snorkel. Edited to add: Oh, and blow the ballast tanks!

Naaah... its a blue car... I had a blue car once, and what was wrong with it was the timing belt was slipping...[;)]

Seems like the problem might be a loose nut behind the wheel.

I don't know, it could be something really simple..... where you getting your gas? do you always get it at the same place? is the transmission slipping? does it make like a 'twoot-twoo' noise between 55-60? Click and Clack

Politesub53 -> RE: Car trouble......Need mechanical advice. (2/25/2008 5:31:22 AM)
Muttling, next time you top up the radiator make sure you stop at the " FULL" mark. How many jugs of water did it take to put that much in ?

I think we have a winner.......I posted this on a reef aquariums forum I frequent and here was one of the responses..... "I think it's a bad water pump."

wkdshadow -> RE: Car trouble......Need mechanical advice. (2/25/2008 12:27:19 PM)
Please, that engine's not flooded. You forgot to put gas in it again.

pahunkboy -> RE: Car trouble......Need mechanical advice. (2/25/2008 1:20:09 PM)
it clearly is the darned illegal aliens again! see how you are when you try to save to toll money? the alternative route is slippery when wet
