More than likely you've blown a head gasket, you might wish it was the computer

Check your oil and look for it being milky.

Also, check the coolant and look for oil and sludge.

Are you saying it won't even turn over now?

[shef]

yea...it would over heat hear and there. but driving to work i got hot as hell so i pulled over and the car died im guessing the comp tunrned it off due to the heat...well then i gave it about 2 or 3 trys with about an hours wait to kool. it would turn over but would not start now it jsut does not turn over at all.

[BlazerLT]

Take the car to a mechanic.

[shef]

by any chance my it be the starter?

[BlazerLT]

dead battery
seized engine
hydrolocked
blown head gasket

Is the oil milky?

[shef]

no...i had just changed the oil few weeks ago..still clean.

[shef]

oh and i just changed the head about a month ago aswell. at a shop

[shef]

so in any way can it be the starter?

[BlazerLT]

Have you charged the battery? What is the car doing? Is the stater clicking but not turning over?

Overheating an engine like that usually will never affect the starter.

You need to have you car checked out by a mechanic.

I hate to say it and I hope it isn't true but you might have blown your engine.

Again, I may be wrong, but you need to check your battery to see if it is just low first.

[shef]

alright got it....battery was low changed it. and i beleive it is the head. water shoots out the head where the engine and the head come together right below the intake manifold. but now the new question why is water coming out there? my car is screwed but im determined to get it running again.

[shef]

and yes it clicks but does not turn over. then the water comes out then my water pump sounds like its sucking the water out with some pressure behind it.

Shop pissing around and take it to a mechanic.

Sounds like you blew a head gasket and got coolant/water into the
cylinders and now the engine is hydro-locked...take all the spark plugs
out and try to crank the engine over!..if it doesn't crank over, you have
more than head gasket problems......
