engine **** up
So I just got my tranny swaped and drove it around for a few days. No problems. Then, when I felt comfortable, I drove it about 15 miles on the hwy to a record store. No problems. Then when I was leaving I noticed there was coolant leaking (because of a puddle) so I ran to a place and gave it some coolant and drove it home. On the ride it died and then turned back on when I started it. Later on the ride home I was accelerating from a stop and it was jerking forward and slowing again and again so I eases up on the gas and it died. It would not start after that. The belts spin but it wont fire. Any thoughts?
