Hows everyone doin?
First off i want everyone to forgive me if i put this post in the wrong place i am very new to this site and this is my first post. I just recently had my timing belt replaced and spark plugs as well. I got a 1993 SC400 and its got 174,500 miles on it but thats not the problem. I drove to NH today and it was fine. I stopped somewhere and shut the engine off. 20 minutes later i attempted to turn the car back on. It would start and quickly shut off again. While starting it it made a wierd noise and then it sounded like the gears were grinding. Tried it again did the same thing. Third time i took the key out put it back in, and then tried to start it again this time giving it gas it ran for 3 seconds then shut off. Did it again and kept it running with gas at 1000 rpm. Ran fine after that. Got home and waited to go out again this time 5 hours and the engine was cold. Turned on then shut off immideatly. Had to do the same thing. anyone know whats wrong?
thanks for the help.
