1995 TOYOTA CELICA GT-
Car start. Move an inch, then refuse to respond to pedal push.
Did have "head" problem. Used head gasket sealant about 6 months ago.
Was working well until last week when it overheated.
My son probably drove a while
longer than he is saying after the overheating.
I want this car back on the road again, but I do not have a lot of money.
HELP GUYS




probably still have the same 'head' problem, those 'fixes in a bottle' are temporary at best and never fix the problem.

Thats what am thinking too.
Do you think I should try to fix it with the head gasket sealant one more time.
I am really broke.

Replace your headgasket.

Yeah. Broke right now.
Can I FIX it with head gasket sealant a second time until I can afford to change head gasket?
probably not for very long and the longer it goes and the more it overheats the more expensive the final repair becomes. warped head, warped block, cracked block, cracked head. don't drive it!
