Engine Won't Start

[jimbostar]

Car: 1992 SC400 128k miles.

Problem: I was drving down the hiway and coolant overflowed from a loose radiator cap and sprayed over the engine and then the engine stalled a few minutes later and now it won't start - it does turn-over though.

Solution: ???

Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

your cap and rotor is probaly full of coolant ,remove and clean it should fire right up

SKF, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that today and let you know what happens.

GOOD NEWS... found the problem with the car, BAD NEWS... the dealer wants $1,700 to fix it.

It ends up that the water pump siezed and fried the timing belt... so, with all the related parts (idlers, antifreeze, etc.) they wanted $1,700 to fix, being a mechanic in the past I told them that was too much and I negotiated them down to $1,200. I was going to do the belt and pump anyway before the winter, so really the only extra cost was the tow to the dealer. I was hoping to do front struts soon, but now it'll have to wait... oh well...
