I was on my was home from work and I Engine Started to malfunction In the middle of the street I got help to push out of the street waited a few minutes and it started back up thank God it got me home but now I’m still having problems
In august of this past year my engine shut down as my wife and I made a turn. The mechanic that I had it towed to said the engine was three quarts low and was getting no compression and yet no check oil indicator light turned on. I spent $6,000 on a used engine. Thursday of last week the same thing happened except I was driving straight. I again had it towed to my mechanic and it was confirmed that the engine is not getting any compression.
