car wont start need advice
ok heres the situation, call me stupid if you want to but im hoping someone else has experienced this and has some ideas:
i was holding my foot on the brake and gas at the same time to about 4k rmps and dumped the clutch trying to do a burnout. the suspension is real stiff so the car hop'd in the back a few times and then just shut off. no crazy noices no nuthin. couldnt start it back up. im thinkin i just knocked something loose. i try talkin sweet to her but it hasnt worked yet. any ideas anyone?

I'm sorry wha?
Yeah why woudl you be on the brake? Were you tryin to do a standing burn? I think that has to be one of the dumbest things to do to a car....Well lets analyize this shall we?What kind of sound is it making when you try and start it? I think doing somehting like that can be real damging to the engine when I think about it?If your holding the rear wheels in brake position and you flour it that means you the rear wheels are locked and you can not allow the drive shaft rear dif and axels to move meanning you can not allow the engine internals them selves move right? Now I have never done something liek this becasue i have alway sfeared somehting like that happenning soo...no odd noises or naything either ey?I'm with onequikson on this check the fuel pump, better yet tell us what happens when you try and start it.... You could have possibly snapped or bent a fuel line when you hopped....or better yet knwocked some part of the fuel system loose....any smell of gas? I'm not going to assume the worst but the engine turns over when you try and start it right?

oh, yes, true true i apologize, you are right
i wouldn't be holding the brake until after the tires are spinning, that would be really hard on the drivetrain. i didn't realize that's what you were talking about

thats exactly what I ment, that kind of force on the drivetrain wouldn't it do some kind of damage to the engine? If you logically think about it something internally could indeed brake you know? Is it possible that he just stopped the damn engine all together like he stalled it but becasue he was flouring it fuel injectors still spit a **** load of fuel into the engine it self causing it flood excessively?

hm...that's a great question, i'm not sure if that would be enough to do that, but it might like you said because he was gassing it pretty good when he dropped the clutch (i'm guessing)

No noise at all when you try to start? Do you mean it is not even cranking?
Sounds like you broke loose some electrical connection that powers both the ignition and the starting circuit when the suspension jumped.

ok heres an update. good news and bad news. we got the car started, it ended up being the neutral switch. however, its runs horribly now. sounds like ****, i can accelarate alittle but when i really get on it, the rpms stop at about 3500 and flames shoot out the back, loud backfire. my apexi air fuel controller isnt turning on maybe that has something to do with it? also the check engine light is on, im going to get that checked hopefully today if not then tomorrow.
