    my car just stopped turning over!

    in The Garage

    Posted · Edited by 88pathylove

    About 4 months ago i was at the carwash washing my pathy. when i went to move my car to the vaccum it just clicked.

    So i cleaned my battery terminals and it started right up. that happened about 2 times after that. well last friday

    i was going to a friends house my truck was running just fine. when i left an hour later the car wouldnt start! just clicks again! so

    i tried cleaning my battery terminals, tried jumping it nothing. i can compression start it and then it has no problem

    so i assume my starter is out. last night i took out the old starter and brought it to the local auto parts store. they ran the tests and it was dead.

    so i bought a new one and replaced it. when i went to turn it over nothing! it still just clicks! any suggestions?

    what is wrong with my pathy?

    i recently had my timing belt replaced because my pathy was stuttering

    it lost power and i would step on the gas and it wouldnt even go forward

    so we took it in and replaced the timing belt water pump. when i picked it up

    it was running great like new, but within two days it lost all power and my exhaust

    is backfiring every 15 seconds worse than before i took it in i brought it back to

    they guy he says he believes it is a cylinder missing but we ran codes and it says 55 which

    is no malfunction? but trust me there is a major malfunction any ideas? it would be a great help.

    so i got it started and its still running like crap so im adjusting the timing but i cant read the marks on the pulley

    and all i have on the engine is a little arrow pointing to the pulley. on the pulley there are 4 marks all i need to

    know is which one is TDC and what are the increments after thanks very much.

    so i was rallying in some mud and water, and it started running a little ruff

    so i pulled over turned it off and noticed there was water on the distributor cap

    so i took it off and cleaned/ dried it. put it back together exactly how i took it

    apart and now it wont start? i also have an msd ignition hooked up and a

    inductive timing light. so i can do the repair myself but i just dont know what

    to do to get started? help... thank you

    02 Sensor

    OK i accidentally ripped the wires off of my 02 sensor, bought a new one and the wires don't match, the 02 sensor is universal type 3 wire (heated) and has 2 white wires and 1 black one, the end of the stock plug wires coming from the car are 1 red, 1 black ,1 white, so what I'm wondering is what is the + , - and signal coming from the car. Also the instructions were not very clear so if any body has a way to test the output on the 02 sensor to find + , - and signal that would be great but if not i think i can figure it out, thanks.

    thanks guys, hey 88pathoffroad i like your idea about relocating 02 bung but if i put it back right behind the y pipe wouldn't the increased flow and heat just fry my brand new 02 sensor? what would happen if i just moved it farther down the pipe, maybe behind the muffler and extended the wires?
