Car Going 120 And Shut Off(not Fuel Cut)

[imported_PunkRacer]

ok my friend was beating on his teggy auto RS. he was goign 120ish on the highway and the car made a nosie like from the battery area of the car and shut off . they coasted a long way (like a 1 1/2 miles). the car has fuel and spark (spark is green not very blueish like im use too). so i thought it was te coil....puled the coil outa my dizzy and same results. he tells me he cahnged the oil and put 5 quarts in it (ahhh i know) whould this have done something to it??

one word... DAMN

if im not mistaken.. the extra oil would have only cause him to overheat... but possibly some crank/block/head damage. did his temp ever rise?

never looked at his gadges he said his CEL came on but when i went to jump it nothing

hmm.. if hes getting spark then its not his timing belt. that would be my first guess. Have him check his radiator fluid. See if theres any oil mixed in with it. If he blew his head gasket, or worse case his head or block.. theres a 99% chance it will have mixed in with the coolant... but usually the car will still start.. but overheat very quickly. But im not certain about a cracked block.. ive never dealt with one of those before.. so im not certain about the symtoms of one. but still.. have him check his timing belt and fluids (oil too) If its mixed.. itll be a sluggish milky gray color.Youll notice almost right away.

then have him pull the code. i mean.. if your engine blows up, in a fiery ball of flames, with demons errupting from it while they chant satanic spells against the world.. .your CEL will still come on.

lol. it all just came to me in one fluent thought.. so i figured what the hell.. pretty good description.

indeed.

Does it sound odd while cranking? It takes 3 things to make a car run. Fuel, spark, and air. He's getting air and spark, check for fuel. Also, it could be possible that maybe he jumped teeth on the timing belt, and the cam timing is way off.
