HELP! Stranded in U.P.! SVX is dead!
Alright, I'm not going to tell you everything, I'll save that for when I get back. But basically, long story short, I was driving on a dirt road in my SVX, and I was traveling about 15mph or so. I saw a big dip coming up, so I slowed down, but heard a 'scrape' and my car lost all power. The engine died, and it will not start.
I've been under my car a little, and the oil pan is fine, the transmission looks fine, the suspension looks fine. The only part that does not look fine is that rear 'frame rail' type parts of the undercarriage (basically under the rear seat and not directly in the center of the car, but not on the edges of the car, kinda between them) were crushed upwards. I thought that maybe a fuel line runs in one of those rails, and it crushed the fuel line, and thats why it won't start. However, fuel is not leaking, and... this is the really weird part. I'm sure most of you recognize the sound an SVX makes when it starts. Instead of the Rir Rir Rir Rir >VROOOM< it usually makes, it has a different sound now when I try to start it. The engine still turns over, but it now goes "RIR-RIR" >space< "Rir Rir!" >space< "rir Rir >space< "rir rir!" in that pattern. Does anyone know what could possibly cause this? Like I said, my car was running fine, I bottomed out and heard a scrape, and now it will not start. I'm going to a car repair shop tomorrow at 5:30 in the morning and any information you could provide would be extremely helpful! Thank you! - Rob BTW: Some good news: I know that the SVX is capable of hanging with a modded Audi S4, and a modded S8. In the straights, and in the corners. My god. The SVX is an incredible car. I have a video that you will all LOVE..... |
