Hard-core CEG'er
It just stopped running. ('98 SE Sport 6 Cylinder MTX - 33K miles)
My car had been running OK until yesterday. It had not been driven in a couple of days and when I tried to start it, it started right up but sounded like it did not want to turn over. This didn''t improve after driving it, stopping a few times and re-starting it.
After driving awhile yesterday, the tach started acting weird. The needle jumped around and eventually settled at zero. Then the engine started bucking and kicking, the car started losing power and finally died in the road.
The clock reset to 5:00 but still works. The horn, lights and radio all work but the starter now only clicks when I try to start the car.
I'm guessing its either an alternator or an electrical problem.
Any ideas?:shrug: Thanks.
