    Ok the word from my mechanic is that my timing belt snapped :eek:... it wasnt an ecu problem or anything electrical or the fuel pump. so now i might have damaged pistons and valves:(. If so, does anyone have any ideas on how i can take advantage of this situation and turn it around. But still not costing a fortune.

    Any ideas are welcome:eek:

    Cheapest way is to throw it off a cliff. If you can't do it yourself your looking at $5k.

    You could try putting on another timing belt and see how it goes, IMO valves are always damaged, even if it still runs it won't be perfect.
