Nothing to do with the battery.... I turn the key and the engine goes like: '' KHOOUUUMMMM KHOOUUUMMMMM KHOOUUUMMMMMMMMMMM KHOUUUMMMM'' and all and it wont start.

It's about the starter.

Monster car or GTFO IMO.

Hey guys, I had to jumpstart my car today and managed to put the cables on the wrong way.  Now I can't jumpstart it but the lights on the dash still go as do indicators (didn't test anything else, too raged).  It doesn't turn over, but there wasn't enough juice to turn it over anyway...suggestions as to what could be the problem?  Its an older car BTW, 83 corona.

...are you serious?

Yes, actually.  Didn't leave the cables on long enoguh to catch fire or anything, just got a little hot.

I don't see what's so horrifyingly bad about this car. Ok, it's not the fastest or most good-looking car, by far not, but it's not like driving an 80's oldsmobile taht's been standing on a field for 10 years.

I mean, it works (Well, did, an propably will again) and it has an interiour. There are people with worse cars. My dad used to drive an 80's mercedes Diesel, wich had no interiour at all, except from the seats, it had a leaky roof and the right back door would not open. He drove in that thing for three years until he lost his license, for drunk driving...

You guys have cars with fucking ridiculous mileages.

awsm

Is it throwing a Check Engine light at you?  If so take it to the garage and have them grab the code for you, and grab a Chiltons/Haynes and diagnose the problem  From there you should be able to figure it out and fixed what's fucked.  Provided it's not anything inside the block or the tranny, you should be able to do everything else yourself.  If not, now's a great time to learn.

Oh, you aren't in the US are you?  I don't know how the first two sentences would apply to you if not.

Andoura is too lazy to learn anything or fix anything by himself. So, that post doesn't apply to him at all.

These engines are easy to fix yourself, if it is not the electronics.
I have rebuilt several of these, you want the gasget set I still have one

Dammit!

Nway, what do you think I could buy, a smooth car, small motor, Max 2 000$.

I'm not putting money on the van anymore, fuck it!

Buy Toyota, Starlet preferd. Toyota engines are indestructable. Mine was 18 years old, started with not problems at -15 degrees. In all those years on the the drive belt was replaced once.

Old toyota = good
Newer toyota = bad. Late 90's so a bit of a decline in their engines reliability and they have had a lot of sludge problems...

I'd say buy an early 90's 5 speed Honda accord sedan. Cheap, reliable, great on gas and actually kinda fun to drive.

You really don't know much about cars do you?

Don't you have like an automotive department at your school or something?

Lool LT. I cant do shit with the car even if I knew something about cars... Actually I do know abit about cars, but not in my case. It could be anything. You have to drive it to know what im talking about ...

Under the car I have like 10 or more cable that touch the ground... So when I actually drive they rub the street lool

Ill post pics tomorrow you'll see:P

jumpstart it? push the car down a slope or something and try
