    Default Stuck In NY... HELP ASAP

    Sup... So the day I decide to leave my fucking car wants to act up because of the cold..

    I started the car, put my bags in then the car just shut off on me...

    Tried starting it back, It started coming on but as soon as I touch the gas to rev it up it cuts off, now it won't start at all..

    Already brought a new battery because my old one died in the process of trying to start it back up... Put oil in the car already... But I'm parked on a hill so I'm thinking it has something to do with that...

    Help IA PLEASE I have school tomorrow and can't miss another day...

    Question: If the fuel line is frozen would it be smart to some gas in there?

    This is no good at all

    But he may make it home. Otherwise it sounds like he'll just throw parts at it.

    dont get me wrong im not disputing the fact he needs to take it to a shop him and 90% of the other people in this section. just giving him a heads up it will be an arm and a leg.

    Lesson learned. That's why you don't wait until the last possible day to come home from vacation. Especially from that far out. Later, QD.

    Exactly. You should have been headed home yesterday at the latest.

    Also a good reason to have your car checked out before you take long trips. Maybe they would have fixed your problem and this wouldn't be happening.

    Anyways, good luck with getting it fixed.

    Not our fault. How the fuck are we supposed to know what's wrong with his car from a 1000 miles away? We know nothing about the car, previous work, issues before hand, nothing. He's told us nothing, no diag info, nothing. I guess we should just be telling him to throw shit at it? Get out of here, that's not helpful at all.

    check your main relay sounds like you are either out of gas, or out of spark.

    You need to get the car on level ground, check the fuel level. Have someone turn the car over and pull a spark plug and hold it to something metal see if it arcs, if it doesnt your distributor shit out.

    If it has spark, pull the return line on the fuel pressure regulator and check for fuel

    Yes but water freezes at 32f. Water can get into your fuel system caused by condensation. It's more frequent in the north. I delt with it once in My 88 Acura legend.

    To the OP try the iso and maybe what jj said however done get to close to the car with that thing it gets hot! We used them to heat our fuel cells in our helicopter when we replace them.

    Are you still up there?

    And yeah, man, tell your Dad next time you can't do that. That's too far away to be taking risks like that, man.

    Glad it worked out for. Later, QD.

    When you travel like that always keep half a tank of gas man... glad you got it going.

    PROPS to BLOODLINE for offering help - class act kid. To every1 with dumb comments --- fuck you. Shit sucks to be stranded with car trouble in places where you can't have 10 friends to your location within an hour or so - either be helping, TRYING to help, or be shutting what they call the fuck up.

    I was actually providing future advice since I don't have the knowledge to provide mechanical. You know me. If I were to come in as you said I did, I wouldn't have been nice about it. So no I did offer up some advice for future trips. Later, QD.
