Hi there,

My jeep cut off while driving it, immediate smell of burn soon as it happened. The engine cranks but will not start. Lights and things work. I am looking for a mechanic that could come to my house and help me out. I can be reAched on here or at liquidchaos@aol.com.

Thanks .

Tony

Thanks

Can you see anything burnt under the hood? Wiring, a leak, the intake manifold?
Do you have fuel pressure? Spark?
What engine is it?

Hi, sorry it's been a few days. Had some things to deal with. I smelt a burnt smell right when it happened, but I was not able to find out where the burn is. The water pump is leaking a little, as well as the oil pan, and maybe the tranny area a little bit. The intake manifold looks alright, but had a leak for sure... Idle was a little rough. I don't know if there is fuel pressure. Or if the spark is happening.. To be honest it's been awhile since I had a jeep... I can't really remember what to tinker with
