Thank you so much! This post helped me fix my car. I got a starter for $170.00 and have not had a problem since. I love this site.

Hi, my car over heated and there is a leak in the radiator. I have try to crank the car it will not start but it cranks up and it shoots water out the radiator. Do you know what is causing the problem I am having?

If it is shooting coolant out of the radiator while cranking sounds like you have a blown head gasket. Pull the spark plugs and see if there is coolant in the plug holes.
