Anyway, i started it after puting water in the coolant place, and it runs fine. problem is the transmission barely engages. i put it in drive and it has to be at about 4000 rpm just to inch forward. reverse is like 5k.no smoke though, but i only ran it for a couple of minutes. no engine lights come on either. maybe it isnt coolant at all, but trans fluid?
Phew! That's a relief. I was really getting worried. Hope all works out well for you. I'd definitely check ALL the fluids.
