It's been sitting for awhile now. I've replaced the engine, the battery, the alternator, the starter, the thermostat and the tensioner belt. All brand new and it's still not starting up . It acts like it wants to start over but doesn�t, even without the keys in ignition, if I hook up spark plugs it acts like it wants to start even without the keys in ignition.
When starting my car from any stationary position, 0 mph (flat parking, on a hill or at an angle) the starter will engage and continue to run and run without starting the engine. In order to start the car, I have to turn off the ignition and try again. The second time the car will start (so far). Also, when I use the air conditioner (car in motion, any speed 0-65mph, on city streets and on highways) there is a coolant smell that comes out or the vents. It is a strong smell and I cannot figure out a pattern for when it happens. It happens when I have the car running, sometimes when I first turn on the air conditioner and them it will happen randomly as I am driving and the air conditioner has been on for a while. I have never tried to see if it happens when I don't have the engine running (don't know if the air conditioner can run without the engine running).
