so the other day me and my brother weere talking about his old 87 egt that he sold back in the day and saturday i was driving around and happened to see it man was it ever screwed so i went and banged on the door and some guy answered and i said what do you want for that escort and he said 600$$cnd and i said how bout 250$$cnd well he took it..the only thing was it didnt run so i got my blazer and towed it with my bro thinkin maybe the battery was dead so we dropped the clutch and nothing..so im going to see if its the starter but im actually thinking its seized..what does everyone think>???

 

[spooki]

what did it do when you tried to start it? or when you dumped the clutch?

 

[Nascort]

Maybe it your timing belt.... cant start if both crank and cams arent turning.

 

[Hadley187]

well when i dumped the cluth it didnt do anything didnt even make an attemp to start and we even put a new battery into it...and it could be the timing ill have to check it out...its worth fixing its got a cool paint job blue with white racing stripes and tinted windows ya...

Sound like when I bought my Scort. Wouldn´t run more than a minute and a half, muffler was rusted half way off, and leaked oil like a siv. Bought it for $400 (US), threw a new battery in and limped it home. Turns out it need a new alternator, and the oil was leaknig from the filter that was only on by like 2 threads. That baby purrrrrrs like a kitten now. Not to metion it has a cold ass A/C Which I still have to use every now and then even in November. It´s still in the mid 80s during the day. Gotta Love the Desert. How´s the weather in Canada this time of year? Any of that cold white stuff on the ground out there?? I think you guys call it snow.

they said it keept over-heating and was loosing water.
turned out to be a cracked hose from the water pump(if they would have just looked under the car, it was obviouse where it was leeking.

no, we don´t call it snow. we call it WHITE HELL!

but it´s actually been quite nice out lately, a bit o the white stuff here n there, but it´s actually ...been...MELTING! it´s crazy warm for this time of year, here at least. it´s been +5, +10 Celcius the past week (here´s another place for a conversion needed!

)

Hey hadley, try taking out the spark plugs and turning the motor by using a breaker bar and a socket on the crank. If you have to, pour some oil into it while your turning it over. This may or may not work depending on how long it sat! Im not gauranteing it will work but it has for me on a coupl of occasions. Good luck!!

Well Juggernaut, you asked for it, you got it. Just go to this page http://www.anzwers.org/free/rellimpk/conversions.html and you can do speed conversions or a temperature conversion.

sweet deal!
so how does 15 degrees Fahrenheit feel? that´s near the coldest it´s been during the day so far here, and bound to get colder! it´s even been -40 F in the past winters (which, just happens to be exactly -40 C as well

)
