Wednesday, March 23, 2005 1:26 PM
So my car has been out side for about 2 months not moved. I start it up and and try and go foward or reverse and its like iam doing a brake stand. The car like stands up on the tires and it dosent budge? Any clues at all would be greatful. Thanks for the help.

yeah, I bet the e-brake is stuck. If it were me, I'd just keep giving it gas till it broke free, but i'm sure that's not the right way to fix it. LOL

Well I gave it gas and left off the clutch and now i have like 6foot burn out marks in the driveway.....Ive also tryed pulling the ebrake a couple times. No luck with that. Ill try just pulling on the cable it self. Any more suggestions.

Here's a suggestion try to put the whells off the ground and try moving each wheel to see which one is not moving to narrow it down.
