Engine Wont Start
I have a 83 ford ranger 2.2l diesel with unknown miles that lost coolant and overheated it died and will not start. When i turn it over it turns very smoothly like there is no compression. There is no water in the oil (but it lost coolant anyway).

It died while driving down the freeway (no sputtering). It also would not turnover at first and as it cooled down it turned over.

Umm well i thing the motor might just be a paper wait now. If there is no compretion there will be no way for the motor to run sence diesel runs on compretion. You might have melted the piston rings.
Do a compretion test to make sure.
