i have been searching forums, other forums and here.
here is my problem- i got the s13 that previous kid replaced new battery, water pump and new alternator before sold it to me. i drove it back to my house. it died on me. no light cluster/radio/wiper/power windows/rear lights have no powers. when i open the door, my auto seatbelts dont move. front headlamp lights are on. im confused. i re-checked the TCU (timing control unit), fuse 75a. both are good. no blown. i recharged the battery. it started running and removed jumper cable. it ran for a few mins and died again. coolant tank smoked. i hope its not head gasket.
I'm not sure what to check next! Any advice would be appreciated!
