i have a 92 mx3. i just did a oil change and tune up. i just put a new altenator belt, and battery. well to make a long story short.. i was driving home and i noticed a lil smoke coming in threw the vents. and then the car cut off. i pulled over and then tried to start it and it wouldnt start or even turn over. does anyone have any solutions. :mad: :crying: :rant2:

did you notice if your temp gauge was reading high?

that i dont know for the simple fact that gauge is broken. lol that sucks. but i did lift up the hood and the engine its self did feel unusually hot. could it have just overheated.

quite possible. did it start back up after it cooled off? even if that's not the problem, i'd get the gauge fixed.
