I was driving home today and i smelt gas as im driving. I thought it was from the inside of the car b/c i was helping a stranded bystander on the side of the road cause she ran out of gas. And i spilled gas on me. So I driving semi aggressive but not redlining it. When i get to the light my clutch is shaking and my car died. I have a problem when i had my clutch installed and when i would drive aggressive and hit high rpm the clutch would decline a bit. I just had the battery and alternator changed out and now the car wont even crank. I've tried to jump it. and now when i step on the clutch it harder then what it usually is and it makes a squeaking noise. I also changed out the slave and master cylinder recently.....please help this is giving me such a headache

 

just got done talking to a friend and he said maybe the flywheel came loose?

 

when I try to start the car, it would only click once...

 

check your battery terminals

 

Battery is new and we tried to jump it. all the dash and light works

 

Flywheel might be bad like someone posted earlier or starter is bad

 

I have 130k so i would'nt be surprise. Do i have to take out the starter to have it tested?

 

Usually auto part stores will check it for free, but since our starters have their own zip code, it'll be a tough one.

 

When i put it in neutral to coast to the light it turned off. Could the starter solenoid be the culprit. what would cause it to turn off as im driving

 

check for three things compression, spark, and fuel...this meaning the coils and spark plugs for spark portion...also the starter if it is making a noise but nothing is happening then it is probably mechanical and could very well be the gear that meshes up with your flywheel... if it doesnt make any noise when cranking then it is most likely electrical..also check the spark plugs and the coils...next the injectors...the injectors and spark plugs would cause it to turn off when driving too...you however need an oscilloscope to scope both the coils and injectors....

hope maybe that helps a bit let me know!
