Blew the Engine =\

Masta · #1 07-13-2003, 10:20 PM

welp, i blew my engine.....i was going on the highway at 65 mph, n' tried to go faster but the car wouldn't go fast

. So then i downshifted n' tried to go fast again....no luck, i looked out my rear view mirror n' saw a shit load of smoke come out of my exhaust....then the car just shut off n' i had to drive in neutral n' pull off to the side of the highway. Reason to why this happened? Didn't change the oil in time.....freaking car has only 3 working cylinders n' burns oil quickly. Yes i know...i'm stupid for not changing the oil. Now i have to save up like 1000 bucks for a new engine...i'm only 16 years old n' get like 155-200 bucks a week rofl. Oh, and i was driving my 90 CRX.

ouch, now was it driving on 3 cylinders for a few mins, days or weeks?

Masta · #3 07-13-2003, 11:26 PM

try like months lol. I got it like that, the guy told me i had to get one of the cylinders recompressed, and i heard it was like 400 bucks to do it so i said screw that, that money could go towards a new engine.

thats would be one of the cheaper and easier swaps to do.

Tanked · #12 07-14-2003, 02:40 PM

I'm surprised you could go 65 with 3 cylinders

Masta · #13 07-14-2003, 06:56 PM

lol that fastest i gone with it was only 75 :P

Actually, it's easy to go highway speed on 3 cylinders. It's just takes a long time to get up to that speed. And you're screwed if you try to go up a steep hill without some good momentum built up.
I drove a mazda 626 from California to NM on 3 cylinders. It even got great mileage!
