ANOTHER PROBLEM!!!

[79TAFB]

while i was driving (shifting down) i put it in neutral after second and the car turned off....so i put the clutch in and tured the key....all i could hear was the starter but the engine wasn't turning over.........anyone kno what it is.

starter solinoid problem, common, does it sound like the starter
is spinning but not meshed with the ring gear?

i dont know what you just described

the starter seems to be trying to start...but it just shooting out air i think..so im gonna guess its the fuel pump...

the mechanic guy said its either the fuel pump or the timing belt =/ and my cars only got 74k on it...i doubt its the timing...if he says it is im taking it to someone else

Thats probably whats going on. My starter is fucked too, sounds like the battery is dead but its full and I'm getting jumped, and when u wack it, it works, so im just replacing the cock sucker

tell him not to be an idiot, its a timing chain go work on some rice ;D

from what you "described" was the car a clean turn off or did it feel more like a stall from lack of rpms? and if the starter just makes a whinning high speed spinning sound, then its just the starter solenoid not engaging the gear into the flywheel :)

i think it was from low rpms....juss shifted from second to neutral and everythin turned off.

If he says it the timing belt you badly need a new mechanic.

wisper: there is no timing belt!
