My 97 eclipse last night when driving home started to over heat I was stoppping about every 5 miles to let it cool. I kept checking the coolant level and it was fine. I put the heater on to help cool and it was coming out ice cold which is wierd cause the car doesnt have a/c. It wouldnt get hot even when over heated. When I got by my house I noticed a burnt oil smell and then I heard a grinding sound and the car dead and it wont start back up or even try to turn over could anyone help me
