and engine to blow up or die out on you ?

 

its kinda hard to blow up ur engine, but it's possible, u can have shorted wires that can cause a fire, your timing could be so messed up that the piston fires at the wrong time and causes the piston to be shot down at the wrong angle seriously causing damage, more simply you can have wire shorts or blown fuses which shut down the necessary systems in order for ur engine to run, if something is wrong with the ignition system obviously your engine isnt going to work(ie plugs, wires, cap and rotor, distributor), even more unusual ur alternator can go haywire and crank way too many amps to ur battery which could cause it to over heat to the point of blowing up. ive seen so many strange situations, but most commonly some little thing just needs replaced or has been neglected
