KA NooBy 0verheating problem!

[r0ccsteady]

friend was driving his ka24e and it started to overheat (a little). turned it off.. we saw that the bottom radiator hose had a small rip. so we noticed he lost coolant which im guessin is what made it overheat.. filled it back up and ran it for 15-20 min.. everything was good. he decided to take it out. doesnt overheat but the car just shuts off.. my guess is that water from bottom radiator hose wet the alternator.. because lights and everything come on just doesnt turn all the way over.. anyways.. waited 15 min.. he tried to drive it home but his speed fell little by little and died again.. but the temp gauge never showed any overheating.. stayed halfway. now just wants to start but just whines.. HELP!

Did this probably two days ago on my kae, it would take a jump, run for about a minute or two, start bucking, then die. As said, it's most likely your alternator.

just replaced my alt, starter and hoses.. when i tried to fire it up.. water poured out the block... im fucked

[tgd89]

Damn that sucks, are you sure it's from the block? There are a mess of coolant hoses above the alt/ behind the ps pump. You could of just blown on of those off. Otherwise I guess it could be a freeze plug, or something.

nah.. where the head is where the hg goes.. water basically squirts out.. lifted my head i guess. know where we i get another motor from? lol
well not really for me but my friend.. i know how he feels.. i went through this same thing twice.
