Thanks to the replies in the tapping thread i made, i'll take those into account.
My car just shut off on me on the interstate as i was slowing down into a construction area. Im sure that has somthing to do with the carburetor as this morning the car was idling really rough, like wanting to shut off when i come to a red light.
Alright, so the car shuts off on me, im rolling, and i jam it into park, then i hear a whine.
Im parked and i try to crank it up, it doesnt. All i hear is a constant whine or whirr coming from the starter. I thought my engine finnally took a shit, or i grinded all the flywheel teeth off someway or another.
The tow guy said it sounds like the starter isnt engaging and theres a loud smell of gas.
Keep in mind the fuel pump is manual, not electric. How would it be dumping gas if the starter isnt turning the engine?
Anyone have a good strategy to figure this out? And what components are possibly damaged? Could i have fucked up the trans from jamming it into park while its rolling?
