Well long sotry short car wont start i mean it is dead as a can be. Ive got power to all accessaries but it will not turn over. All i did was put seafoam in the brake booster hose but unfortuantely i did not read on how it should be done and i just got all excited and poured the whole can in. I know im an idiot. It tried starting 2 times now ive got nothing. All fuses are fine and battery is charged. Any ideas i checked the plugs also they do not look fauled out.

Any help would be appreciated

When you turn the key to the "ON" position, does the lights on the gauges light up? Or does the cluster/gauges look dead as if the key was off?

"SECURITY" light on?

I havent checked the starter and the security light is not on whats my best bet to just hit the starter a couple of times and see what happens??? Or check for voltage

Is it an M6 if so why not try to see if you can bump start it.

its an auto but good idea i wish i could thanks. any other ideas??

Nflaz28

getting a little worried here is it possible i seized it up by dumping all that seafoam in there and if so is there a cure??

HELP ME GET THIS THING GOING AGAIN im pulling the starter right now to go get it checked out. then im out of ideas

you hydro locked the motor up. If you read on the can it says to pour it into the cap and pour it into the brake booster hose SLOWLY. Read instructions guy. Now you have an expensive rebuild ahead of you. This has happened to a few others also because they said they just thought you dumped it in.

Hydro-lock=SEIZED UP

thats what im thinking like i said im an idiot but just trying anything before i call it quits on the motor is there anything i can do to save it i pulled a few plugs and they arent went at all

Nflaz28

im not ready to give up on this thing yet. if it was locked wouldnt the starter at least click and try and turn the motor im getting nothing????

if oyu have power to everything and the starter isn't kicking over at all it could be your solenoid on your starter. Did you try hitting the starter with a hammer. That usually will get you at least one start up. But judging by your story you seized the motor and it may be activating the starter you just don't notice it from the car and it isn't doing anything because the starter is not going to turn over a seized motor.

yeah i hit the starter a couple of times and got my fiance to start it while under the car and the starter doesnt do anything is there anyway to jump the solenoid i know im getting power to it from the battery but its not doing anything when i turn the key

Nflaz28

would the security light be on if the vats was interfering. Its not. Im just trying to figure out what can be causing the solenoid not to be getting any power to the switch side????

Thanks

So you have power to all the accesories and everything and the security light isn't on. Just ***** and giggles I'd try another battery.

If the solenoid is already engaged and it is in fact hydrolocked it won't do anything. When you try to start it do the courtesy lights dim? If not then your starting circuit is bad. you can try to jump the connectors on top of the starter.

I'd try to turn the motor over by hand first before doing anything. Make sure it's spinning freely.

And what the hell is "Seafoam?"

Dumb question, but was it running when you poured it in? You did not say.
