Any mechanically inclined people in the house? I have an immediate need for some help. Here is the situation:
My car will not start. As murphy would have it, this acting up happens just as I arrive at my destination 350 miles from home. I drove the entire way and as I get to my last stop light, I notice the engine is sounding a little louder. I don't pay much attention and go into work. When I come back out, the car is running awfully rough and when I drive it doesn't have much power and makes a duh, duh, duh, duh comenserate with how much gas I give it. I then get to the hotel and now it won't start. I thought it might have been a fouled plug or something, but now that it won't start, I hope I haven't setup the engine.
It is currently being towed to a repair shop. As additional info, the car is a 93 Dodge with 120,000 miles. Any thoughts? Also, this weekend it acted fine but my brother asked if it was a little louder than usual. Any tideas of what could have come about? Also, one final piece of info, I way overfilled the gas tank this time and it actually spilled out. could this have damaged anything?
Thanks for any info.
