The car blew a heater hose and got hot. It was driven about one mile in this condition. The car died and has not started since. I have checked the timing belt, spark and fuel issues. I have good fire and fuel. The car acts like it wants to run but doesn't. Any ideas of where to go next. Or could anyone tell me how to retrieve codes from this unit without a scanner or diagonistic reader. Any ideas would help. way2old Veteran / Moderator Jun 29, 2008, 4:51 PM Post #2 of 3 (1698 views) Re: 99 contour no start Sign In If you ran it really hot, there is a possibility you collapsed the rings and lost compression. This is where I would start. There are no provisions to read the codes without a scanner. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds mekanek67 Novice Jun 29, 2008, 5:07 PM Post #3 of 3 (1696 views) Re: 99 contour no start Sign In I should probably run compression check and go from there. I will try to do that tomorrow eve.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
