I'm waiting for a call from the insurance. They said it looks like there are "coverage issues", because that guys insurance wasn't for the vehical he was driving. He said he just bought that car 2 days ago and has not switched his insurance yet.

I tried the starting fluid and it wouldn't start. My battery also died so I didn't get to try this for long. The battery's on the charger now. Idk if the starting fluid is going to work.

Default Hydrolock

I fucked up when I put the Sea Foam into the intake manifold. I poured it in with the car off. Now I can't get the car to start. Could this be hydrolock?

Please do not make duplicate threads for the same problem. Threads merged.

Sorry, I don't know the external symptoms of hydrolock. I just know how it happens and the carnage that results from it.

Try this, remove your spark plugs and crank the motor over a good bit. Then put the plugs back in and see if it starts.

Most policies from legit insurance carriers shall cover a driver for up to 30 days while going through a transitional phase of vehicle switch. Don't let them hand you that shit.

Do you have full coverage? If they try to pull that shit, report it to your insurance company and let them deal it out.

Last resort, sue him directly. Granted he has some assets or whatever, he can pay you directly for the damages.

Looks like they they are going to cover the car. The adjuster was over here today and sounds like they are gona total it. IDK why; I didn't think it looked that bad. I hope they give me the right value on this car. I searched Craigs List night and day for 3 weeks to find that near xint car. For now I'm going to smash on this rental. Are there any cars for sale on here or just parts? I need somthing nice quick style.

There are cars available for sale in the vehicles classified section. If it isn't that bad, I would buy it back from insurance and attempt to fix it.

It's not too bad, but my back tire on the driver side is folded in. It would be a shame to part out this car; it was clean and totaly stock.

worst sea foam story ever.

I would buy back from the ins company. they might even give to you cheap since it doesn't start Whether you fix it or part it should be easy money.
