Sucks. Sorry to hear that. What did they quote you for the repair?? I took my car to the dealer and they ran the car thought the ringer. Leak down test and all. After they told me the problem they pretty much said they can't promise it will fix the problem and that I may have to rebuild the engine. I am now driving the car around like that, white plum of smoke after any long light or traffic jam. I refuse to fix it but, now when it's really cold out, the car starts harder than a diesel engine. For now I stopped driving the car. I really don't know what the heck to do. Still owe 10 grand on the car. What a shame and loss for me. Guys on this site say it won't get worst but, I don't feel like that when I'm in the car. Feel like its gonna die anyday.
