95 eagle talon help

I'm hoping someone can help me with this, my 95 talon broke down the
other day, engine stopped but was able to pop start it right away and
get to side of road. It sounded like I was driving on a flat tire and
there are burn holes in the fireproof covering on the inside of the
hood near the pcv valve. Any suggestions as to what the problem could
be?

Thanks in advance

Wow, that is a strange one. I have a 95 Eagle Talon also. Is yours
TURBO?
You said you had to POP START IT? Wouldn't the starter work? Did you
battery short out to the hood? Check your battery connections. Other
wise the only other things I can think of is that you blew a spark
plug/plugs out of the hole and they hit the hood or you have not
changed your pcv regularly and you had a bad build up of vapors in
your oil pan and you had a minor explosion and it blew out the pcv and
burnt the pad. Hard to tell without seeing it.

GOOD LUCK

 

As far as pop starting it, I was on the highway and was just natural
thing to do, I haven't tried starting it yet as the battery is now
dead. It's a non turbo, and the pvc I'm thinking is the more likely
suspect. Burns aren't by the battery and it's more toward the
winshield then the plugs. I'll check it out though, thx.
