May my DSM R.I.P......for now!

I was driving down the freeway playing with a ford probe GT. gotta love toying with them. Well, except for today. The red gt flies past me so i go for the kill. I get on hiss ass and get off cuz i see he doesnt have a chance. But after i see that he keeps pushing it, i say what the hell and i go for it. I stomp it and then all of a sudden i hear a bang and my car dies. RPM drops very fast and tranny goes into neutral on its own. I pull off and cant get it to start back up. I think its my timing belt. I was dressed well and couldnt get dirty to check. So i called a tow truck and got it towed to my mechanic. Got home and drove my truck. All in all, all i have to say is i got some bent valves and a belt to replace. I need this car to get to work and school so the mechanic better not take long. I also need it for the sentamental feelings i have for it. I love my DSM.

Ouch that sucks! has the T-belt ever been changed? how many miles are on your ride?

TWITCH

yeah how many miles? hopefully it didn't hurt any pistons since you were going fast....

My car has 118000 miles on her. I stopped by the mechanic after school. It turns out that it wasnt my timing belt but an ignition problem. The motor wont spark up. Hopefully by the time i get out of work it will be done. Stock ignition except for some denso plugs.

whew, at least it wasnt the timing belt

the mechanic says its a spark sensor. He ordered the part and it should be in tomorrow. i want my car back as soon as possible.

 

[BreathinHeavy]

is it crank angle sensor if so have him check the play in the pully that is a sign of the evil "c" word crankwalk

In the end i need a new crank angle sensor and cam position sensor. My car is automatic so i think i'm a little less prone to crank walk then the 5speed guys. I guess the one advantage to having an auto tranny.
