Posting here because car needs help.
So I have a ‘97 960 with over 255k miles on it. Was driving and while in traffic, it shut off. It won’t start up again no matter how many times I have tried. Doesn’t sound like the starter because it sounds like it’s trying to turn over. I imagine it’s either the distributor or the spark plugs. Maybe the spark plugs considering I have a blown head gasket and I keep filling it with water. As well being the water pump doesn’t work. I have all of those parts etc, just haven’t had time or the money to get it replaced. I imagine the tap water has damaged the spark plugs. But I have zero idea. Also got do88 coolant tubes for it. Got a new thermostat, have to get the gasket for that, have a new water pump, head gasket set, timing belt, and that’s all for now. But would love to know what is causing it not to start. Also, I have a new battery in it and new alternator.
