davidbiggato -> 94 Probe GT barely turning after 2yr sitting (2/25/2007 4:13:25 PM)
|
I just bought this 93 PGT 5 spd. with 99k form some one who didn't want it no more...750.00 cash...it's got a new clutch, new cv joints, new water pump, new timing belt...everything is in very good shape (interior and exterior)...his stock distributor went out at 89k had it replaced at a dealer, then it went out again at 99k...that's when he decide he was not going to fix it...21 months later he puts it on craig's list and I decided to take a chance.
Put in a distributor and it wouldn't turn, checked all fluids and they are all kinda ok...tried push-starting it, and it didn't, but started to turn over just a bit. I had to tow it home...then I had my wife pull me to start it, and it did!!!!..after almost 2 years of sitting, the thing started and actually sounded ok...I let it idle and warm up and it was doing fine...10 minutes into idleing....deadness!...it just quit with no signs before doing so...just in a blink of an eye...nothing!...tried to jump start it (battery did not charge in the 10 minutes it was running) and, to my surprise, it was barely turning again!...wua...wua....wua, wua, wua. I thought that it would turn over after being running for 10 minutes....so, is the engine gone? Previous owner said it never overheated and the last time the distributor went out, it was turning just fine, but wouldn't start...should I pull-start it again and put some Slick 50 or Prolong to loosen up the engine?
Thanks[:@]
