My altima was leaking antifreeze for 2 or 3 weeks so I started using water instead of antifreeze until I got the problem fixed. One day my car overheated and started cutting off on me and then I could not get it to start up again. It had white smoke coming from the front of it. I found out I needed a new water pump which I had installed and I also got my spark plugs and wires changed because some of my spark plugs had melted from the car overheating. I also had the oil changed, which looked burned from the car overheating. After all this my car still won't start, we checked the fuel injector it's not that. I'm hoping that my engine hasn't gone up. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hope springs enternal your car has done in a head gasket and the white smoke was steam melted plug wires burnt oil all really bad signs. Pressure up the radatior. Stant makes a pump most mechanics have one. and pull spark plugs out crank motor this is fun to watch just how many holes have coolant squirting out of them. Think about a new car soon after you get the head gasket changed. Lots of things pistons and rings get dammaged when run that hot.

i might say your factors are not final and establishing. Do you spot an intermittent spark at thee factors as you roll the engine over? With a small attempt lite, stick an end into the distributor cord hollow the place a spark plug cord might frequently be. floor the different end to the block. Have somebody roll over the motor There ought to be a spark interior your attempt gentle. you will possibly have undesirable condenser. Is the small cord solidly mounted from the coil to the distributor? The rotor could have a lacking or bent blade The distribute cap may well be lacking the little carbon evaluate the middle. verify the severe voltage cord with an ohms meter. twist the cord as you verify, you will possibly have an "open" in th HV cord.-------------------i think of your attempting out me. i presumed all autos had ignition modules at cutting-edge.

did you know that you can drive your car further with out oil without doing damage to an engine thain driveing it overheated
you warp the head thain the head gasket starts to go thain the oil rings start to melt off the head may crack thain the car quits
to fix it most people pull the head get it milled replace the head gasket thain run the car and wonder why it smokes now they forgot the rings
i always recomend to replace the engine get one of those japan engines they work good

If the spark plugs melted, Your engine is problily shot. Then cylinder or pistons could have warped. You may need a new engine.

You broke your "joint de culasse" (I don't know how to translate this from French to English) and some water went into the engine. I had exactly the same problem with my car, and the symptoms were the same. I'm affraid your engine is broken...

That would be cylinder head gasket, my french friend.
Yes, I'm afraid your engine has an incurable malignant cancer.
