comming home from buying it and it just stopped running..... from what he said it was a rebuilt engine.... timing belt snapped from sitting to long? btw it wont turn over :lol: starter stuck it clicks?

 

Sounds to me like something electrical, like a bad battery or a bad alternater, or maybe both. At the least, get the battery checked out. Of course, if it is good(no bad cells) have it charged and then see have the alternater checked. You can check the alternater with a multimeter if you have one. You just basically want to see voltage output higher than 12.8, but lower than 15v. Higher than that and you risk frying electronics in the car, not to mention cooking(overcharging) the battery which will result in a decently loud BOOM!:dead: Any lower than 12.8v, and the likelyhood that the battery will be able to charge while the car is running(with accessories on) is low. I sure hope that helps a little.
