Q: Cant figure out what is wrong.
Ok so one day when i was driving my car just died on me no smoke or anything but it did make kind of a loud noise. I immiediatly had it towed to the dealership were they told me it would need a lower end rebuild. A couple days later we tried to start it, it wouldnt by it self but it would start with jumper cables but right after we took them off it died, it wasnt making a clanking or loud noise or anything but it didnt quite sound right. What does this mean, thanks.
