i think my motor is blown i cant turn my crank pully/ enire belt system at all, i took my starter off and tried it on a battery, it seemed to engage and work fine. my battery life indicator thing doesent look blue its clear, so that would mean its dead,but i get power to the car, but perhaps not enough for the starter, when i try to start it all the power dies and it just makes a loud click noise. Please help.

 

We can't really diagnose it with that info. You put a breaker bar on the crank and couldn't turn it clockwise? Have you pulled the plugs and looked at them yet, inspected your oil for debris, etc?

 

ok about a week ago now i drove trew some water and my car just died, so i'm thinking water sucked into my injen CAI. when i try and start the car it wont turn over it just makes a clink noise, so thinkin there was water in my engine i took the plugs out today and tryed to turn the motor over and the same thing happen, and i dont think it is my starter becuase i took that off and tested it with some booster cables on the battery and it seemed to engage and spin fine, but could it be the brushes in the starter are gone? and draining alot of power, when i try to start it all my lights and **** just dim out really bad so i dunno what it is.
please help i've been without wheels for a week and i'm goin crazy lol.

 

"You put a breaker bar on the crank and couldn't turn it clockwise? Have you pulled the plugs and looked at them yet, inspected your oil for debris, etc? "

like otter said, not too hard to understand.

 

ok my oil is fine, no medal shards or anything, i never used a breaker bar on the crank pully just a socket wrench so thaats probly why it wouldent turn, and yes i did checck my plugs they were a little black but nothing major.

 

"draining alot of power, when i try to start it all my lights and **** just dim out really bad"

Have you tried cleaning the negative and positive poles on the battery? Sounds to me like they are not making good contact.

 

i dont think thats the problem, i put a different battery in there and the same thing happens, i tried boosting it to but same outcome, i think the intake sucked in water and messed somthing up

 

How deep was this water you drove into?

 

i donno, take it to a mechanic and have them look at it.
maybe check the engine oil to see if its got water in it...

 

If there's water in one/all of the cylinders, pulling the plugs would let the starter pump it out, unless there's something broken preventing the engine from turning. If that's the case, you're going to need a rebuild and possibly a new block, depending on the damage.

If the engine won't spin, the easiest way to inspect for damage will be to remove the oil pan and pull the valve cover and look for bent/broken parts.

 

ouch i hope thats not the problem, if so the dealership can take it back, o yea they sold me the car with an injen cai,rrm steal cluth line,magnaflow catback,rrm ud pully, strut bar, rrm lowering springs,rear tie bar and a b&m short shift kit, and it came with 160,000km extended warrenty would those mods affect that?? even tho they must of known it was there.
Could the starter possibly have anything to cause this, cause when i took it off the gear thing was black with little pieces of medal on there, or could that be from dumpen the cluth?

 

um... last I checked driving through a deep puddle with a cai isn't covered under warranty... I don't think your warranty covers aftermarket parts and puddles...

 

With the prices dealerships charge they almost should

 

Pretty much. Dealership will tell you anything to sell a car, but the writing is all that matters, and it's very unlikely that they wrote the aftermarket parts into the warranty.

 

look this is pretty simple...unless that puddle was over a foot deep (about the height of your turbo which if it wasnt sealed to the intake would be the lowest point water could enter your intake stream) then you dont have a water logged problem...go to a mechanic with a boroscope and have him inspect cylinders..check your compression...check your spark do they fire plugged in but out of the engine? is the car getting fuel? answer this **** first
