- Mazda P5
Ok this time I have a real problem, I haven't fully inspected the car yet but this is what happened,
I was driving the car drove fine, stopped started then drove across the parking lot went to pull out onto a main Street and the car just died. Liked I "stalled" the car but it didn't want to turn back on.
I turned the key to off then went to turn it back on and it just cranks over. I then noticed the temp sensor was pinned out on HOT. Looked at the hoses and coolant reservoir still had pressure and no coolant on the floor.
Tried starting the car again nothing, no visual signs on the engine that something was broken. Called a tow truck waited about 45 minutes temp still read HOT maxed out (it's 40 outside and windy so chill factor is up). I am going to look over the car soon (newborn at home now) don't have all day to tear the engine apart so any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
