livefree603 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 So this is for anybody and everybody if you think you know what it is. Im at a complete dead end with creedence,so heres the story. The other day on the way home I herd a small pop then instantly lost all pressure under my gas pedal now when i started shifting down the RPMS would rev with each shift so the engine was still doin its thing and running down RPMs as i ran through gears pulling it over any who we finally pushed it to the drive way (broke down half a mile from the house) I tryd starting it up to see if i could and nope she wont turn over,makes a sound as if its about to but then nothing and just sounds like if you were to turn the kiey with it already on you know. so ive checked all my fuses and conections and hoses put now idk anybody any ideas im kinda thinking fuel pump?

5523Pathfinder Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Oh man, maybe timing belt. I would take the cap off the distrbutor and see if it turns when you crank it over. Maybe jumped a few teeth. Your pedal has no feel? Make sure the cable didn't snap or come loose from the thottle pivot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrariowner123 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I second the above motions. Hope you can get this fixed, what year? (on mobile, can't see much, and pushing the desktop mode button is hard) -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The PF I have now, when my buddy still owned it it shut off while he was driving to work, turned out the timing belt tensioner bolt broke, may have been what you heard, or could be the belt as was suggested already, I would second looking at the distributor rotor when cranking the engine over, if you want to be real safe try turning it over by hand with a socket on the crank bolt.

Slartibartfast Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hate to say it but yeah, sounds pretty textbook for t-belt failure. I can't think of what else it'd be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
