I was driving in manhattan yesterday I went to take off in first gear my car stalled and wouldn't turn back on. It would about to start then shake then die again. I was already an hour and a half into my trip keep in mind my low coolant light has been on forever like 6. Months and I have ignored it could that of been it ?? What would cause this. Also I have been putting regular gas in it for a while

 

well first thing... your an IDIOT for putting regular in it... stop being cheap.
second, why would you ignore the low COOLANT light? not like thats very important...

 

Low coolant was on and you didn't fix it? Rings are probably shot at bare minimum. Gaskets are all shot probably from over heating. Not to mention the high knock from running regular. Your engine is probably toast.

Start by seeing if you can pull the plugs. I bet you'll get to one cylinder and the spark will break lose but will not come out without excessice force.

 

Um wow. Have fun with the rebuild. Not smart.

 

Just when you thought you've encountered the stupidest member on this site, another one will pop up with an even worse story.

 

thank you for stating the obvious I know it's stupid but I just wondering would that be the cause of stalling and not getting the car back on

 

I don't understand why you've been putting regular in the car...

In all actuality, it could be something little like the crank sensor or could be serious. You won't know until you take it somewhere to get looked at as it's obvious you have no clue what's going on. I recommend nothing in Jackson, that town is.... Well nevermind.

Get the car towed to Tune Time in Toms River.

 

karma- u abuse ur car and this is what happens.


try and reset ur codes first... that might fix it. and if it does, fukin go put some coolant in!!!


and u really should run higher octane unless u NEVER go WOT

 

Pull plugs and do a compression test, if the motor still wants to turn over.

 

fuses

 

Take it to a dealer.

Period.

 

You answered your own question. You didn't keep the maintenance on your car and decided to put the lowest octane you could possibly put in your car....I'm sorry, I don't wish bad on other people...but you HONESTLY deserved it.

And yes its most likely internals.

 

Check your fuses

 

umm what happens when u try to start your car? Do it start in reduced power mode (sounds like a serious ******* cam), if so try and hit the gas do you get a response from the vehicle, or does it just die out???

Guys gtfo if you aint gunna help the man, seriously he knows he fucked up lay off

 

iirc the car doesn't start

 

but it says it shakes then dies....jsut wondering because I had a similar problem but my sensor for the TB came out so there was no throttle response

 

I had that before too and it's the crank sensor. Did it three times and hasn't since.

 

well I finally got it started don't know what it was it's sitting now b4 I ddo my 2. Hour trip back ill just put so anti in it

 

isnt he supposed to put regular in it if he isnt S2? Assuming hes not S2 form his sig.

 

btw you can run regular as no where it the manual does it say it requires anything more dont know where the myth that you have to comes from...assuming your not S2 of course

 

^
exactly. And your not tuned for it so its a waste of money cause it doesnt help at all

 

If you run 87, the motor will have to detonate before it retards timing for the 87. Is that really worth running the risk?

 

lol not sure i run at least 91 in MY car but i was just sayin you dont have to

 

huh thats odd my manual said 93 only

 

Sounds like a bad crank position sensor
