2000 Chevy s10 overheated/misfire
Im gonna do my best to describe what
happened. I'm a girl and probably gonna
explain it funny since this isn't anything I
know much about. Okay I just had my oil
changed, filled all my fluids. Took off from
MI to go to VA. Got four hours in it was late I
slept. Got up drove three hours stopped at a
rest stop. It was hot as hell now. Never got
this hot in mi. ( Not sure if heat contributes
to what happened ) that's when I turn it on
and noticed it didn't sound like nornal
startup it like stumbled for a second.
I took off and not even five minutes out I call
my dad. It's not accelerating past 50/60 and
then it shuts off. I wait on side of road for an
hr to let it cool off. Open it up and the
antifreeze one is completely empty. This one
I refilled and topped off a month earlier and
when I checked it before leaving was still
completely full and didn't need any. now in a
short time was dry.
Also had liquid all under the truck from
around the radiator area. So my uncle
comes and says the fuel filter looks good
and he starts it and it has trouble starting
he called misfiring. So he drives it to nearby
gas station and right towards the end of
getting there it has some white smoke come
out the exhaust and then it turns off again
as we pulled in the gas station and all the
new coolant all over the ground as we
pushed it to its resting spot.
So can't get an actual mechanic all the way
out to where we towed it but everyone who
is pretty good with cars says the motor
sounds great once you get past the misfire.
I'm clueless and probably included too much
information but I don't know alot about cars
and again Im skeptical to if they trying to
pull something over on me because I got
people telling me it sounds fine minus
missfire. Then got people telling me to get
rid of it and they got a car they can trade me
for it. So I just want some honest help.
