My car is not running.. When I turned it on the engine turns over but nothing... the lights that come on are on ... Please PRAY or SEND VIBES that this is something not too costly... There is a flapping sound( yes I am a girl) so it could be the timing belt ..I AM Very THankful that it got home... PLEASE send vibes ... my work relies on me getting to the stores to do the work ... I AM so SCARED ...

My friends boyfriend said he would do some mateinince but he is quite busy and she doesnt think he can ( I bought a timeing belt , spark plugs and fan belt) ...

I will send YOU vibes if you send ME vibes! My car stopped, then smoke came out of the engine,and a light green oil came out of under it.

It may be a cracked block or ? but now I have no way of getting anywhere!

GOOD LUCK to BOTH of us!

Sending you lots of good vibes! My car broke down last week and I was so lucky that all of the repairs were covered by the waranty and my boss let me borrow her other car. I'm sending you both the luck that I had!

Good vibes to all with car troubles.

Ugh green "oil" sounds like antifreeze (coolant) to me and that is a BAD sign. Good luck!!

Sending vibes to all the cars..

I called my insurence guy and got a recomedation for a local shop a few miles away ... I am now waiting for a call... I think they all went to lunch... Likely will have to get a rental car ... I am so stressed .... Please pray it is the timing belt or the battery... the mechanic said it sounded by my description like the timing belt and hell use the one I bought

I am so scared it will be $$$$$ or something that cant be fixed...

Baby my car blew a head) or we think as I told the mechnic not to look further when he explained it would be 1500-2000 $ to look and fix...

On the flip side it does look like I can * crosses fingers* get a loan and get a nice used car .... All suggestions welcome...
