The popping noise was probably a fuse bravado. Check all your fuses and go from in that location.

Jump start dosnt practise annihilation. No affair what I do I can't get the engine to creepo over. Think it could be a tbelt?

The only matter that comes to listen is something Electric. If it was something like a humongous boost leak, or fifty-fifty an un-timed engine (such as a TB issue) the auto would notwithstanding turn over. Unless the engine seized, which I haven't heard that happen very oftentimes. Accept you been inside the ECM box recently? I'd bank check your fuses likewise, I believe there are three for the ECM in the left dash panel.

Then your auto just died? Did electric things start to turn off one by i? If that's the example, then you accept an alternator issue. When my friend's alternator went in his 2.8 though he was able to expect over night and got the automobile to turn over and bulldoze again, but only for most five miles before it died once again.

You say your battery is "fine". Did you check the ground and power cables physically? Trace the ground and make certain information technology's tight.

Aye, everything is adept there. And also when I tried to popular first it, information technology wouldnt piece of work either. So frustrating. Could this exist a tbelt issue? Would this crusade engine to not creepo over? I have a few people saying it would brand it non turn over and some say it still would

Check fuses and grounds first. Could exist engine speed sensor. If the car won't creepo that shouldn't have anything to do with the timing chugalug.

When my caput gasket went three years ago; Yes it sounds about the same! (look for water out of the plug holes when cranking it over)

If you're literally non able to crank the motor over it could be a t-chugalug. I dubiety information technology's something electrical, pull the plugs and take a peak inside. A caput gasket would throw some white smoke before hydrolocking... That sound pretty extreme, I've never heard of that until at present.. A t-belt issue may cause the engine to not turn over depending on if at that place is some internal impairment as a result of it breaking... If it were something electrical it would accept to exist pretty major (interfere with starter motor as well as ignition some how) You're ems would have to have fried up or something... If y'all're getting a clicking noise and the lights flicker it is electrical though. If it's not clicking information technology'south got to be something physically preventing the motor from turning. Best of luck, I know it'd be eye-wrenching for me...

Only took a quick car in the 24-hour interval light, looks like a may be leaking hydrolic fluid? But would that crusade me to not exist ablr to crank auto over. And its not a crazy fast leak or annihilation. But Idk where it is from. Drivers side of engine is all I know hah

What color is the fluid... and have yous checked your starter/fuse? If the fuse is skillful endeavour juicing 12V right to the starter contact... maybe your starter crapped out...

It's hydrolic fluid. And where is the starter fuse?

Check the amperage going to the starter, if it'southward really loftier so yous have mechanical resistance ie something messed upwardly internally
Brand sure the starter actually gets ability get-go of all, but if you can't fifty-fifty pop outset it then you have a bigger result. Scan for faults and pull the plugs to see what'southward in the cyls

The automobile would lurch forward if it was in 1st gear with no clutch. When my clutch fork bankrupt on my 3000gt I started it in get-go gear in order to bulldoze the last five miles home. Clutchless shifting FTW!

He doesn't necessarily accept the car in gear when trying to kickoff it, I keep information technology in neutral when starting my car.

This says battery or alternator the fact that it wont popular offset leans it more towards being the alternator. The lights dimming is because y'all do not have enough power try to spring it. If it starts and so you have the jumpers off and it dies it is the alternator.

^proficient indicate, if y'all were trying to jump the auto with pocket-size gauge wires and a completely dead battery due to a bad alternator... it probably wouldn't crank over... get a multimeter and kickoff checking stuff instead of guessing.

So become this. I just go back out to the motorcar look effectually, pull a couple plugs to check stuff and it looks fine. Go to offset car and now it clicks over similar it wants to outset. Merely makes the clicking noise. Hmm wierd

Did the engine turn over when you lot tried to bump showtime information technology? Or did the tires lock up and skid to a end?

No cel. Nonetheless simply my misfire lawmaking at idle. That's it. And no tires didn't lock up or anything like that.

Then the engine turned over when trying to bump start it. So the engine is not seized or locked upward. Not ruling out a broken timing belt. Merely trying to help collect info.

Sounds like a battery to me likewise every bit a alternator.Especially if it dimms the lights.The battery tin can accept 12v and have 2 amps and information technology will be a shot battery.Amps crank over the engine and the battery has to have 12v.But just considering theres 12v at the battery doesnt hateful it has the amps to turn over the starter.Our batteries typically have 380A IIRC.cheque your battery or effort charging it.Then report.Or as mentioned the starter crapped out.but seeing as your were driving the car when information technology died id assume, the alternator went and the battery was drained because it wasnt being charged.

he wouldve noticed the battery light beingness on if he had half a brain.
lights would dim if the motor was locked the starters cartoon manner more power than it should it would definitely dim the lights.
