2004 Toyota Corolla won’t start after feeding radiator iced tea

Topic starter

My neighbor asked me to figure out why their corolla cranks, but won't start. Apparently it had overheated and the gentleman put iced tea in the radiator since he had no water. After checking it myself, the battery is good, the fuel pump is fine, I don't personally see any vacuum leaks. Do you think the iced tea finished off his engine?

No, but drain and refill that coolant/iced tea - and don't drink it, or let a pet drink it.

The FAQ has a "no start" section which has a list of videos about no crank no start, and if you scroll down "cranks but no start"

check it out.


Where would I find the FAQ section? Thanks!

Check the plugs air filter and alternator. Auto zone can check the alternator for free. 


The plugs and air filter are fine. Unfortunately, my neighbor can't get his car to auto zone to check the alternator.
