Can somebody help….
Went for a drive yesterday in the Chevelle. While passing a slow Sunday driver the car sounded like it back fired (a pop sound no clanging of parts)
.Lost power from motor (never kept running after). Then it would not start . Seems like lots of power in the battery, starter just clicks and the fan blade seems to just go back and forth with the click of the starter. Car rolls in neutral and cannot be moved in gear. Got it towed home, and took the valve covers off and could not see anything wrong. Pulled all the plugs, all looked ok maybe a little lean but not bad. Put a bar and socket on the crank bolt and could not move it by hand .
Tried to turn it over this morning just because, and it went a little further than yesterday but then would just click. Torque converter was hot yesterday when I got it home.
If the tranny has gone would it or could it lock the whole drive train to a point the starter will not turn the motor over? Or have I blown the motor up. ie jammed a valve in the top of a piston. Or something else?
