( some mechanic) and i left it at the house over night.. went to work on sat.. at 9 am .. went to my girlfriends house at 2.. hav fun for an hour and on the way back to work. in a good mood.. i beat the car a little ( i swear .. just a little) and now there is anti freeze iunder the car.. on the body i mean not ground.. looks like it's on the water pump and frame.. so.. the car wont start.. same problem as when i changed the tem sensor.. i drained the coolant and some got ont he car.. it didnt start.. i went to work.. got home and i bribed it to start by promising to buy it somethign expensive.. laugh no the same problem.. but I did not spill anything.. so it must be a leak or something.. i am pissed.. well now i am calm.. but I was very pissed so in anycase.. i want to know if anyone has ever had this problem.. the dash lights are on.. batt is fine.. starter does nt engage at all.. poss cylanoid by starter? pos short from anti-freeze since it's still on the body? it felt so bad to follow my car home on the back of a tow truck.. frown my friend in his mitsu was making fun of it frown so i passed him in dad's 2001 subaru rs :p (not street racing... just rapidly acceerating to the speed limit laugh ) anyway... any info would be so greatly appreciated.. thanks a lot fellas

Do you really think it's a blown head gasket?

Dude, how hard were you hammering that car? :p

not that hard.. and yea pretty sure.. me and my friend went to this guy vinny.. and we rebuilt his 2.5 GT probe engine and bored it out to a 2.7 so i know we can do quality work here and not get fed like at the ford dealer.. we're actually going to mill the head like ford DOES NOT and yea it's the head gasket. wheni went to the shop.. there was a ford contour head on the table right in front of me same problem.. only worse..- but right now my car will NOT start.. and i need it to.. pretty please anyone ? i know someone is a mechanical genius out there..

I have no info to add except maybe put your car facts in your sig so you don't have to say it all the time?
