AyooKeish Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I was driving on the interstate today when I heard a pop and smelt burning before my car shut off, I pulled over to try to start it but it wouldn't start, so I got it towed to my house and out oil in it but it still didn't start. What could be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Yasir Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 When turning the key is the starter motor running? are you able to crank the engine... what do you mean by "towed to my house and out oil in it" ? check the electrical first all the fuses, no start condition are of 2 types 1.) No cranking, pure silence when turning the ignition key 2.) Engine cranking but engine does not catches up So in your case which one is it? Try to post some pictures, it helps a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhaustgases Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 What does "out oil in it" mean? Do you mean there is no oil in it? If the crankshaft will not turn then likely is seized up from no oil. Or you broke a timing belt and that did it. What year is it? Is it an LS400 or a ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's a typo - should have been "put oil in it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
