sephia 1999 that was vandalized	Sign In

Hi i have a sephia 1999 that was vandalized. Something was put into the oil tank on purpose and now the car is dead. When it happened the car started shaking and white smoke filled the air then stoped working. It has been parked for about 6 month. I changed the oil hoping this would work but it didnt i didnt chang the filter becuase i couldnt find it. Is there anyway I can clean this engine so that the car can work again, car was fine before this happened. Thank you

Tricky one

Did you notice anything funny coming out of the oil when you changed it? Could gas be screwed up too? This opens up such a wide number of possiblilities it may be real tricky. Good luck and you might do well to seek so pro help, T

Tom would sugar in the gas tank ruin a car?

Sugar in Gas Tank: Heard that one my whole life and never saw it. If suspect I would wail on dry gas which would probably allow it to pass. That and or drain the entire system and flush it out. I would think there would be some evidence.

This is VERY dismaying to me as so many of us try so hard to just fix ordinary problems and to cause one makes me sick!! T
