My ride is a 1996 zetec with manual transmission.
I was pulling out of the local walmart and gave it some gas (about 4k rpm) when the engine dies out. It made a very faint snapping sound in the engine bay and just slowly stalled out.
I got it pulled off to the side and tried to start it back up, the engine seems to be turning but will not start. There is a grinding noise coming from the top of the engine when the key is turned, seems to be in the vicinity of the belt that runs the cams (left side of engine).
I will be taking it to the shop tommorow but thought I would see if anyone can tell me what the damage might be from my description. It is already sounding expensive. Thanks.
