Re: Car Won't Start - HELP 850 97

Clyde, I would just sit tight, until one of the guys who knows the hot tip on the fix chimes in. While you are waiting, you can charge your battery with a trickle charger....part of the fix is a series of cranking the egine for 60 seconds or so each time until the intake valves loosen up in their guides......this could drain the battery a bit.

Dont get too upset.....you can, and will fix this yourself.

I just wish I could be more help. I am sure

John O. or Rich K. will get you out of this.

PS: From now on, be sure to let the engine warm up a bit before you turn it off....even if you are not going anywhere.
