South Gate,
California
Car overheated and I pulled over to turn it off to prevent further damage. Oil and coolant were extremely low.
I fixed some gaskets and torqued things down to prevent leaks.
I've also done the following:
-It cranks
-Runs rich (black smoke from tailpipe), spark plugs are wet
-Starts *while* acceleration pedal is pressed and idles at 100-200rpms for 5-10 seconds then dies
-With Engine coolant temp sensor off, it runs rough at 1000rpms, full throttle.
-When it does start there's a loud squeaky sound but it doesn't sound like the belts.
Things I'm going to look into:
-Bright Blue spark from spark plugs. If not, I will check plug wires and anything before the ignition coil.
-PCV Valve
-Idle Air Control
I'll see if i can get a video to those who are prefer a visual.
Thank you for your time.
