after searching the forum a few times I havent really stumbled upon anyone who had my same problem...
so I get in the car today, fire it up and it seemed to start fine but I noticed the low coolant light was on, so I opened my door popped the hood, opened the hood and looked at the coolant levels and the engine shut off. All coolant levels were fine and the oil was pretty low so I decided maybe it shut off because of the low oil. So i add oil, go to start the car and it cranks and cranks but will not turn over.
i tried to pump the peddle while trying to crank and it still wont start after 20-30 seconds of that.
im pretty sure im the unluckiest person on the planet because today is the day I was going to have my new y-pipe installed. and I am about to do a 60k/120k service project but now the damn thing wont start.
I have power inside so the battery seems to be fine as well as the terminals... what would cause the engine to just shut off like that? it was in park and wasnt being driven, just shut off....... very confused. starter perhaps? but if the starter was shot it shouldnt have started in the first place, and that wouldnt have cause the engine to just shut off when it was running? weird, please help......
