ok this thread is not like alot of the ones out there. ok today i turn on my car let it warm up then go around my neighborhood and when im about to get on the home streach to my house the car just turns off. im like WTF?!? so i coast to a stop and i hit the fuel cut switch and nothin is going on. i wait like 10 mins and try again, still nothing. while im cranking over the motor the cooling fan light on the warning thing is lit up. please help! i had to leave my car a skateboard home.

 

+1..............

 

help!

 

Check the alternator belt.

 

would that really mees it up like i discribed?

 

If the belt is not there or if it's slipping badly, the alternator will not be generating any elctrical power. Just check it and see. May not be the problem but it only takes a minute to check.

 

well can anyone else give any advice while i go and check the belt

 

ok got back and tightend the belt pretty well and still the fan light comes on. someone please help

 

comeon someone please help me

 

dont tighten the belt too much, about 1/4 inch of play is good, and if the belt was there and it wasnt slipping (you would hear it, its pretty damn annoying), then thats not the problem

have you checked any fuses or wires? compression test? hear crunching sounds when it popped off? how freely does it crank? does it sound like it is just spinning or do you hear it puffing with every revolution?


just a few things to check

 

is your afm bad?

 

dont know if afm is bad, it spins freely and i checked all my engine fuses and i can smell gas after cranking for like10 secs so i just dont know

 

anyone?

 

You should check the basics, fuel, spark, and compression. Since it sounds like you have fuel, hopefully you are just missing spark..

 

ok im going to pick up the car now, anyone else have any good ideas?

 

fan light? did you mean coolant light? if the check coolant light is on it means you have low coolant. try cranking it with full throttle. remove your spark plugs and check for spark. if you have spark check your fuel pressure. it should be about 50 psi. then if you still dont find anything wrong check your compression.

 

not the colent light is says fan on it

 

really anyone can help
