1996 beretta no start

[lizako]

I had a internal coolant leak and used a engine block seal and car drove with
no problems for about three miles and stalled when going about 30 mph and then
won't start. No crank just one click and thats it. light dim to nothing whne
i turn the key and go back bright when releasing key. It won't jump start
either.

Did the block seal clog the cooling passages and over heat the engine
so it seized?

the car has never overheated or even gone passed the half way point on gauge.

I drove car to gas station and checked oil and water and had to add more water
but still see no evidence of leak into oil. then i drove asbout two miles and
it it just died.

If the car was running and you shut it down normally, I'd suggest
dirty connections or a bad starter. Having it shut down and then not
be able to crank add another dimension. You can still have that, but
unless it is getting no juice at all from the battery and/or
alternator, shutting down itself is not common.
