Hi all, I don't have a great amount of knowledge on cars, so bear wth me. tl;dr-ish backstory on the car/situation, uncle had driven it for 16 years, shipped it to us from Cali, my dad used it mainly for about 2 months before getting into an accident, not too bad, it just busted the power steering fluid reservoir. Didn't have time money etc to fix, so it just sat at my grandparents for two years. Hail damage fucked up our main car about a week ago, and we won't be able to get that fixed because literally everything is booked until October here. Anyway, that forced us to (finally) go and try to fix this car. We fixed it, got it running, it worked for about a week and now it's dead. My dad was driving it on the highway and he said all the lights came on in the car and it started to make a noise.
It won't turn over when you try to turn it on, and it makes this WARNING LOUDnoise as soon as you try to turn it on. The noise continues even after you take the key out, and only stops when you unplug the battery. We replaced the battery just now thinking that was the problem but it still persists with the new battery. Through some looking I've found that the main source of the noise and vibration is the intake manifold possibly? But the exact problem I don't know.
It is very dirty, and like I said had been sitting for two years haven't being turned on at all, so problems are expected, but we just need to know what the problem is, and if it can be fixed easily and without much money. We really need this car up and running soon so all help is appreciated, thanks guys.
