I was on my way home yesterday and got stopped in traffic the temp gauge flew from 210 to 260 and the car would barley go 30 mph it got so hot at one time it shut off on me. after sitting for a minute it started back and I managed to get it 5 miles to my house. I put water in it after it cooled and it started fine so I drove it around the block if was fine for the first 3 or 4 miles then started running hot and stalling got it back home engine was sizzling after it cooled checked oil and if was full of water/coolant. Do you think the motor is ruined or could I possible get a miriacle and it just be the intake gasket? (The motor will still start)  |
It is hard to say.
But do not drive it untill you get it checked out and repaired.
But it does need some proper testing to find the problem.
Are you going to DIY it or take it in for repair?
