I tryd to start the car an it wouldnt start an the plastics that covered the clutch line melted when i tryd to start my car. Really don't know what the hell is going on..plz help

I wasn't able 2 bleed the clutch so i was told that the slave cylinder was bad an the car won't start, makes a clicking noise when i turn the key.

Engine isn't grounded to the chassis.

As for bleeding the slave, it takes a while. Keep trying it, if there's fluid showing up around the boot on the salve then it's leaking, replace it.

thanx! But why would the clutch line burn up like it did?

[projectRDM]

If the engine isn't grounded it will try to pull it from whatever it's bolted to. The clutch line is connected to the chassis, effectively making it the ground. I'm assuming, I don't know anything else about your car or the install.

How do I make sure the engine is grounded well? Were do I check?

There's a large ground that bolts the intake plenum right past the throttle body, it comes off the battery tray from the battery originally.

Does the ground from the battery go grounded under the intake manifold near the throtel body? Isthat what your talking about? Wouldn't happen 2 have pics?

English. Type it please.

The battery ground cable goes from the battery to the battery tray, then up to the intake manifold. The battery has to be grounded to both the chassis and engine. if it's not, the engine will find a ground from whatever it can, in your case the clutch line.

I'm sorry to bug but....were in the chassis does it usually go grounded?

The battery tray.

The battery tray.
I'm confused. I've asked every tray in my engine bay and none of them have a battery charge against them.
I'll let you know what I find when I go back through school, learn English and stop doing shrooms.
