August 21, 200817 yr comming home from buying it and it just stopped running..... from what he said it was a rebuilt engine.... timing belt snapped from sitting to long? btw it wont turn over starter stuck it clicks?
August 21, 200817 yr thought you were selling right now not buying... a starter CAN click from a really bad battery which would also make the car die.
August 21, 200817 yr comming home from buying it and it just stopped running..... from what he said it was a rebuilt engine.... timing belt snapped from sitting to long? btw it wont turn over starter stuck it clicks? Sounds to me like something electrical, like a bad battery or a bad alternater, or maybe both. At the least, get the battery checked out. Of course, if it is good(no bad cells) have it charged and then see have the alternater checked. You can check the alternater with a multimeter if you have one. You just basically want to see voltage output higher than 12.8, but lower than 15v. Higher than that and you risk frying electronics in the car, not to mention cooking(overcharging) the battery which will result in a decently loud BOOM! Any lower than 12.8v, and the likelyhood that the battery will be able to charge while the car is running(with accessories on) is low. I sure hope that helps a little. Patrick
August 22, 200817 yr Author put the battery out of my brat in it today and it fired right up... i guess it doesnt really matter tho i bought the car to put my loyale back together parting out the car after i take the front clip off of it Post about the part out to come
August 22, 200817 yr I'm certainly glad that it was something so simple. Too bad for this car though, may it rest in peace, or pieces, or......well.....you know what I mean. Patrick
August 23, 200817 yr Author got the engine running like a dream.... it had a bad injector that led to it running like S*** tons of power and it actually moves and does the speed limit now
