Well, first off... I hate my celica...but at the same time, I love it =[



Well.... Yesterday morning I woke up at about 7 o'clock. I dicked around, got a shower, then left at like 8 or 9 to Ashland Ohio....which is maybe a 45 min drive? ...Kay, so I got there, no issues, car ran fine, NOTHING wrong.... Well, I picked up a friend, then left Ashland.... after about 20 minutes of driving back home, I started to smell coolant, and then I noticed my engine is running REALLY hot. Well, I should have played it smart and just pulled over, but I had NO idea where I was. So I decided to keep driving, then pull over when I see some sort of marker sign, say...exit, food, etc... So I then sall the Morrow county sign, that's where I live.... So I then switched lanes to then pull over, and as I was pulling over the car just shut off on me... On I-71. I was pissed =\... Coz I see this sort of thing all the time on the side of freeway/highway. My radiator cap blew off like halfway and smoke and coolant was all over my engine bay. So i'm like.. ****.. I call my mother, she sends my brother... He has some coolant, we dump it in there just because.. Then we try to start it... It smells like **** and won't start.. So I just have my brother take me home. 5 hours later my dad and I Decide to go back to my car and see what's up, as he knows better than me with this sort of thing. He fiddles with things, takes out the thermostat(wtf is that?), and it still won't start. So idk what gave me the idea, but when trying to start it (note, now it doesn't sound like ****, or smell like ****, it actually sounded normal, it just...didn't start? ) I kinda hit the gas, and it actually "combusts?" , So I keep hitting the gas and the car doesn't shut off, but it sounds like **** (not nocking though?), and i rev it, but something doesn't sound right, but its staying running, I just have to give it gas, when I let off the gas it goes to like 800 rpm and sounds like **** but still kinda runs? I asked my dad to drive it off I-71 for me, because 1.......i'm not in the mood to drive a car that could potentially scare the **** out of me, and 2... I'm mad at my celica....it pisses me off. Anyhoo, As he drives away I see sometihng squirting out on the bottom of my engine? Idk what it was, but my guess is it was coolant.. As he was driving away grey smoke was shooting out my exhaust (I was driving behind him) for about 2 minutes, then it stopped.) Now, the only thing that happened similar to this, was the other day, I park my car, then I hear like... a water fall of water or liquid commming from my car, and I look underneatth and coolant is EVERYWHERE... So i'm like wtf... and I put more coolant in. After that, I drove to Marion ohio, and then back.. so about an hour of driving.. Then I hadn't driven the car till this morning. Before I left this morning, I checked everything, clutch stuff, powersteering fluid, brake fluid, oil, etc.. All was O.K.


Now, can anyone tell me.. What the hell is wrong with my Celica? lol. Do I need a new engine? Head gasket? Block? Water pump? I have no idea...

If I need a new engine, I will put a different one in.. idk which one though.. but i'm broke so it's gotta be from a junkyard, I do have friends that will help me put it in, though.


Please help me... Thank you.

I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(
