The easiest thing you can do (assuming the motor still turns) is do a compression check. The test tool is pretty cheap at discount, and it will tell you alot.

 

you probably wouldnt even have to buy it, they could check it for you right there.

check fuses too. i know it might be unlikely, but a friend of mine had a car that overheated and a hose blew. it blew coolant all over his fuse box, and it wouldnt crank. he replaced a couple fuses, and it worked fine. that might not be the case, but its always good to check little things first.

 

theres a guy in JAX selling a JDM H22, if worst comes to worst, or you just want a plain better engine

check it out

PS come to the meet on the 17th

 

lol i wouldnt let them check it even though its impossible to screw anything up

 

Did you forget??? The car won't start, so unless he happens to live on top of an Advance Auto Parts store...I don't think they will check it.

 

Alright ill try those things and let people know what happends....And ya the motor does turn over..just wont start

 

dah, i would say it be too low of compression. I just tore apart a 302 that was doing the same thing cause the dumbass ran it till it was almost red hot...

 

Well if it is too low of compression what do i do to fix it?

 

The first thing you need to do is check the compression.

You may need to do a head gasket and resurface the head,
or you may have to tear down the block.
Get the compression results and go from there.

 

ok ill try to get the tool as soon as i can
