I was convinced it was the thermostat that wasn't allowing coolant into the engine. I've changed the thermostat but the car won't start now. It'll turn over but i can't get it to start. I imagine that maybe i've blown fluid all over the spark plugs or something. I know a list of problems can stem from overheating but if i can get a list of possible problems and possible solutions.
My 91 Chevy Lumina overheated on me and now the car won't start.?
Warped head
blown head gasket
warped engine block
bad main bearings (thinned the oil)
stuck piston rings (welded to cylinder wall)
Remove the battery cable and the spark plugs and turn the engine by a socket in the crank shaft. If it turn over easy then nothing is stuck. Check the spark plugs to see if they are in good shape as you can burn the electrode off. Replace the spark plugs and crank the engine and see if you have fuel and spark. Then that will tell you what you need fixed.

THIS IS NOT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, IS LET THE ENGINE SET FOR A DAY, CHANGE ALL THE SPARK PLUGS. WHEN THE CAR O/HEATED, YOU HAVE CRACKED THE PORCLIEN ON THE PLUGS INTERNALLY, AND NOW THEY ARE WEAK IN THE DELIVERING OF THE SPARK TO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND IGNITHING. SO.... PUT THE PLUGS IN, CHARGE THE BATTERY IF NESS. AND JUST START THE ENGINE, AND A WAY YOU GO.
blown engine 3000.00 bucks
