FROZEN.....
the other half tried to start her 95 sti this morning but it never started, i had a look at it and noticed a few pipes had frozen solid, got a few hair driers in there for a few hours till everything was warm, now its all defrosted it wont start, what could be wrong? and what damage could have been done? thanks phil.:thumb:
|
Now it's defrosted is it leaking any water? Anything in the oil?
|
no, so im thinking she got away with any damage.
|
How did it start before it got frozen?
|
after a second, with no trouble at all.
|
when i turn it over now, it tries to start in the first second but after that it doesnt fire again?:confused:
|
Theres a similar topic made just recently with he same problem, might be worth looking for that too.
|
when it was frozen and running was there a squealing sound? I remember i had an old shogun that had no antifreze and when i tried starting it the water pump was frozen solid and the belt was just slipping
|
im not sure about the belt sqeeking because f it slipping, i came out after she said it wont start, the thing is now its defrosted it wont start.
|
If it was frozen solid maybe cranking it over caused a slip of the cambelt?
|
I remember years ago I had an old car that had frozen pipes and I assumed when the engine warmed up it would melt the ice :D Ahhh well, it just popped the bungs on the engine instead :)
|
yes core plugs ive had them go before, the cam belt slipping a tooth was what i thought at worst case, i just wanted to see if there could be anything else, ill look tomorrow but i bet its that as its trying to fire for once then nothing else, thanks very much everyone. :thumb:
