Q: Kia cerato 2004 overheated and shut off by itself.
Kia cerato 2004 overheated and shut off by itself. Car won't start, checked the spark plugs and only 1 looks to be burnt out. Could it be the head gasket that's to blame why it won't start now or could it be something a bit more simple like new spark plugs/leads and possibly new cylinders for the spark plugs to go back into?
My car has a manual transmission.
