i encouter a very sad moment with my car today.
well here is the story. i was going to jack my car up to tighten my ic pipe on the passenger side today. but due to the fact that my car was to low, i have a lil home made wood ramp that
i use, to drive the car over and then jack the car. well i drove over it and a soon as the car tilt to the left.. my car died on me.. then i repeated the steps agian and i get the same results. and nothing came to my mind but c.w. I never ever had any signs of cw before. but now im confuse :cry: can any one give me some opinions on this?
 
1. Grab crank pulley
2. Pull/push
3. Hope it doesn't move
 
do a once-over on it and check for anything out of place, like loose wiring. and i believe the car would have to be lifted from the left side for crank walk to even be a possibility, because its a general rule that after a left turn(the crank shifts to the right, towards the clutch), if your clutch is very easily depressed to the floor, its using that movement to push the crankshaft back to the left. so check the basic stuff first, hopefully its nothing major.
