Help! Car in shop as I type. I was driving 30 MPH with no trouble, check engine & oil light came on for 3 seconds before car died. Will crank (at rapid speed) but will not fire. Did not smell fuel when checking that injectors were getting gas. 123,000 miles, faded but fixable paintjob & dented drivers door (needs shin only), perfect health otherwise. Is it worth to fix, buy new engine or scrap?

 

Believe it or not, the d15 can be bought used for $200.

 

Buy a D16Z6 or ZC, and swap it in for about 1000 bucks, then start fixing it up.. But yea, you can try and fix it, and keep it, or you can try to sell it and get a few hundred bucks for it.. Maybe a grand...

What years do I need to look at? There are alot of parts I want to swap out eventially & don't know what will fit. Thanks for your input. You may have saved my crappy week. Although I don't know where to get an engine forthis car in this remote mountain town of 5,000 people. Any clue? I get the guesstimate from the shop in the morning.
