Check your reading comprehension there old one, I said "waiting for her to get INTO the shower".

Sorry, I'm a bit concerned right now ...... I have a bad nose bleed. I should not have vacuumed the whole house at on time ....... I over done ...... now, I have a nose bleed.

This will call for laying my head back for a couple of hours ....... before I mop the hard surfaced floors.

Meanwhile, @Urmyson ........ did you get your engine to turn over ..... ??

Right. Don't want to disturb her reading in the shower so you're waiting.

Sorry about your nosebleed.

Well, whatever.

Yep, a nosebleed (left unchecked) could drain all of my super-thinned blood from my body in a few minutes, so it seems.

If I cut myself shaving, our bathroom looks like the shower scene from the movie "Psycho" .....

But on the subject of nose bleeds: tipping your head back is an "old wives tale" that results in nothing but a possible upset stomach from swallowing blood...

Head forward and squeeze/compress your nostrils firmly for 3-5 minutes.

Have you tried pushing it yet?
I am very interested to know what is going on with this one.

Sorry for all the playing in the thread. We normally don't do that in the tech sections.

@Ultramaroon started it with his laundry talk ......

@Urmyson , you may have to drag your car into a shop if you are stumped.

Trying to push start it isn't going to hurt it much anymore if it's busted up inside and it just may turn the engine over if it ain't.

So, what is your plan ..... ??

I have an auto and it does move in gear, but I'm not sure if that helps since its an auto. I put it in reverse and was able to roll it down the driveway a few feet, then in drive and push it back up.

Thanks. For some reason I had it in my head it was a MT. Not sure if it helps with an auto or if the tranny just free rolls.

No, with an auto tranny, the engine isn't really connected to the drive train under those conditions. Moving it while in D or R dose not apply any force to the engine.
