Well I'v got problems. I just bought an 86 GN 4 days ago and i think the motor might have seized up. It has 116,000 miles on it and has been professionally rebuilt from what i'm told. I'm still in the process of gettin all the documents on the rebuilds of the tranny, motor and turbo. The car has ran great up untill what happened tonight. I haven't even really done a whole lot of driving in it today because i was at work from 8-5 the i had some other work to do from 5-7. I took it for one drive before i took it on the drive that did it in. Car started up good and everything seemed fine. I drove down my driveway, everything still good, as i accelerate up a small hill slowly, because it was night time and no one comming up behind me, i get a little ways and it starts clunking loud. I imediatly pull over and shut the engine down. I wait a few minutes panicking expecting the worst and go to start it up again but the engine wont' even turn over. So i'm pretty much thinkin i'm screwed. Well i just left it parked there for the night until tomarrow. But i'm guessing it's gonna be bad. Does anyone have any info they could share with me on what they think coulda happened? I'm thinkin the oil pump might have went out. It's got enough oil and i had my digital temp gauge on my scanmaster on and it was normal. I didn't however check my oil pressure because i just wasn't thinking about it. It's been running fine the last couple of days so i didn't think anything like this would happen. I don't know what i'm goin to do. If you got any info please let me know. I know how helpful turbobuick.com is so i decided to come on here and share with you all.
thanks
