What owners wrote
My son went to jump start the car and when he tried to start it the engine blew up . The intake manifold flew off in multiple pieces. Had car towed to my mechanic and found out the cylinder was dead due to the explosion. Though well the car had a lot of miles, so I thought it was just its time. So we decided to buy a re-manufactured motor because we had put some work into the car and my son and I though that would be a good choice.
Chevrolet impala engine cold parked in driveway started the car and the engine exploded: fire started under hood. The manifold exploded
