97 camry broke down, won't start
'97 toyota camry v6 engine, 212k miles
i drove my car with the battery and oil lights on. they weren't blinking but consistently on. i went pass 50mph and the car started to shake, so i slowed down. about 2 minutes later the check engine light comes on ,and then another 2 mins later the car broke down. i was very ignorant then and i thought the lights meant the battery was dying and it needed an oil change (which it did need), and i thought the check engine light just meant i needed a tune-up. (i know much better now, just wish i did then). i just wanted to make it home. so i started the car back up and it started just fine. about 15 minutes later (if that), the car broke down again. i heard a faint "CLINK" noise, it sounded as if it was coming from the back of the car, i thought i had hit something. (didnt hit anything). had the hazards on and then the car battery completely died. the car didn't overheat, i didn't smell any unusual smells, the car only shook when i went up to 50mph and i was going about 40mph, no heavy white smoke, no blue or black smoke coming out the exhaust. i got the car jumped, the lights came back on, but the car still didn't start. they hit the starter to make it work, still nothing, but its not the starter, of course, because that wouldnt make me break down. charged it another time, still nothing. there was plenty of oil on the dipstick, and the oil was dark brown at the bottom of the stick. when i try to start the car with the headlights on, it cuts off, and then back on when im not trying to start it. all of the belts are fine, none of them are broken. i had 4 mechanics look at it. 3 of them tried to turn the engine crank manually and they said its really tight and won't turn. what is making the car not start ? |
Could be a wiring problem.
Or could be the oil pressure light being on really meant the engine had no oil pressure. In this case the engine could be damaged. In driving home when the engine stopped it may have cooled down enough to run again, but only so long. If the engine will not turn by hand, there may be internal damage. |
