While i was driving my car just died on me, the engine still turns over thought, my A-pipe is also leaking and is very loud, could it have anything to do with that? I am so pissed off, i just drove 400 miles 3 weeks ago to pick it up, and it was driving perfectly till after i got my timing belt changed, than my a-pipe went bad, and now this!

Were they any smoke coming out from the engine??? i'd say check your transmission...sorry to hear that bro

If it turns over but doesnt start and it just died right away...
Check for spark while cranking, if no spark, check your ignition ignitor.

no smoke or anything, i hope it is only the ignition control module, and not the fuel pump, timing belt, or head gasket!

uh, its called a hot hood + brakes making water dissipate (boil & fog away, like when you boil noodles).

its mad

when at a stoplight with rain out and having little rain bubbles sizzle.

I would suggest not spraying water on the rotors.

Cooling to Fast=Warped Rotors
