A series of events happened and ik this is a lot to read but I’m just trying to give any and all information that might be helpful. Thank you to anyone taking their time to help, I appreciate it.
I was in a rush but I usually don’t do this, I drove with the handbrake on but it was only for a block or 2. (This I assume caused the overheating which possibly caused the other events, though I hope they are not in direct correlation with each other.) After I put the handbrake down I was just mad at myself for being a dumb ass and just took note that the car was over heating. The needle was a little less than 3/4 to being fully hot. Around 3 blocks later when I was coming out of a stop, it did this weird pop out of 1st gear thing. I just thought I didn’t put it in all the way, because it did actually start and everything seemed normal and it popped out after a couple feet, after the clutch was about fully engaged it seemed. It got worse later though. At the next stop sign it was doing a mix of popping out of first and something that reminded me of being on the verge of stalling or running out of gas. I ended up having to put it in first Twice before I actually got the car to engage normally. This all happened in crossing the street. ( Thankfully I’m on small side roads) After I cross I immediately pull over, the temp is still in the same place. I turned the car off. Tried to turn the car on and it turned but didn’t come on, and it made this deep loud electrical sounding noise. I let the car cool for about a minute and it started and I made a U-turn and parked around 50ft from where I was. I sat there for a bit and let it cool. I kept trying to start it and after like 3 tries it would turn on but did something. It would be at normal revs then it would slowly drop until it ‘stalled’, (I was in Neural but it just turned off) this happened twice. When the car would start after like 5 tries, I tried giving alittle gas. I tried this twice, and both times I barley touched the petal and the car would ‘stall’ again. Then the car turned on in like 2 tries and somehow I was able to bring the car up to 4500 revs and I just held it there for around 10 seconds. After I got off the gas, the revs dropped normally then it ‘stalled’ again. I probably should have left the car alone by this time but I was frustrated. When I tried to turn on the car again it made that deep loud electrical sounding noise from before. I gave up after that. Its been a couple days and I check about every 2 or 3 days and it still wont turn on.
Every time it died it was like a weak stall or the car just didn’t have gas. I’m hoping it has nothing to do with the transmission or clutch. The simplest things I can think of checking so far are spark plugs, distributor, or alternator, just because the car won’t ignite. It cranks though. Any tips of what to check or how to check certain things are greatly appreciated.
