Overheated, Car Won't Start Now

[RBwonga]

Hi guys, popped a heater hose off while driving didn't know. Temp gauge was fine. Car stalled on the highway and now it won't start.

The car still cranks, but won't fire. It's getting fuel and spark too. What could it be? Any help would be awesome!

Motor is RB25DET S2

Cheers

Cooked itself.

Warped the head...

Standard temp gauge are unreliable, mine stays right in the middle on the track when the other one gets up to or sometimes passes 100

yeah sadly you need fuel, ignition AND compression....you can try a compression test but I think you will get bad news if it doesn't start; particularly if it turns over very easily/quickly

[RBwonga]

Yeah I'll try get a compression tester tomorrow and give it a go

As others have said, temp gauge will show half way until at least 105C. Once it starts heading north of half way by a bee's dick you are already in the danger zone.

Also, guess what a WATER temp sensor needs? Water!! If you pissed all the water out and weren't pumping anything around, who knows what the sensor was reading. If you had no water in the block I'm sure it's cooked, the top of motor wouldn't have had any cooling until it lost compression and stalled.

Good excuse for an RB30 anyway!!

Not really. It's the head that dies when overheating. Which you need

[tridentt150v]

True, but any excuse IMO

never a good feeling.
i had a 32 which felt fine until i heard the tank boiling and it was already all over.

Yeah it's fairly shit wondering if I should pull it apart and try fix or if I should drop another 25 in it..
