before you start spending money on a new motor. I reccomend you go to the dealer and ask them what is wrong with the car. also see if it's under warranty.

i thought all the dealer was was spending money, last time i took it there they charged me somewhere along the amount of $80 just to open the hood and check what was wrong with the car, i was thinking somewhere along the lines of insurance though

best thing you can do is try, if you over-reved they will tell you from reading the ECU and worse thing they will tell you is they wont cover it....i thought they wouldnt but they took the tab on my $8k bill
