My car compleatley died on me last night. I was driving home from work and the check gages light came on. Then the gages went "heywire". I pulled into a gas station and there was smoke comeing out of the hood. I opened it to see that the smoke was comeing from the area where the engine coolant is. A rusty coolered substance was spilt all over. Now my car wont even start. Earlier that day I had taken it to the shop to have the a/c looked at, before that I havent had any problems. Do you have any Idea what could o happened, because I SHURE DONT! HECK I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS

You might have a blown head gasket from overheating the engine. Have the oil checked for coolant in th oil. Fill the cooling system with water and pressure test it. If it's ok, flush the cooling system. Let me know if it still won't start.
