Inb4 needs points changed and plug wires.

time to die

>>15214400
What sort of problems is it having? Describe it, maybe someone here can help

>>15214400
what car is it?

>>15214401
>What exactly happened?
Car got old.
Since yesterday I have reduced power on uphill and engine runs out-of-balance in low RPM. Car still runs, but I don't want to move it anymore so things don't get worse.
Source of the problem could be several things.

But actually the whole car is in bad condition already. The whole suspension, engine and clutch need to be revised. I have no money.

>Time to steal a bicycle, fatty mcfatfuck
I don't steal, also I'm not fat


>>15214402
I have no money for spare parts

>>15214443
Don't be a bitch, sell it to someone on Craigslist and buy a Civic or Corolla in the mean time. A manual Civic is a gud car

>>15214443
So its just worn out, low compression and the works?

>>15214410
I'll consider it but it could be so many things that are broken

>>15214413
yes

>>15214439
FF car

>>15214435
i did here >>15214443
But I have no money for spare parts, I'm actually unemployed and looking for a job but the breakdown of my car makes finding a job so much harder in my rural area now. It's ogre.


>>15214451
> sell it
It's not worth much, I couldn't buy another car


>>15214460
>So its just worn out, low compression and the works?
The power loss and unbalance occurred suddenly yesterday. Before that it was just running a bit noisy and leaked a bit oil through the seals.

Find heroin addicts they always have cheap shit to sell

My buddy just picked up a mk3 gti vr6 swapped for 1200 and all it needed was a clutch

>out of balance
It's missing, or it has low compression?
Other than rubber and fluids, things don't just get "old" and fail, they fail due to neglect.

>>15214603
how do you fix low compression? I have never had that happen to me before

head gasket?

worn pistons?

>>15214496
Misfire. Distributor/cap/rotor, plug wires, spark plugs. Could be a $5 part, or a $free part at a junkyard to fix. One cylinder isn't firing. A headgasket won't generally ever cause a noticeable "Imbalance" in operation. Neither will low compression unless it's severe, but that generally comes with the noise and violence associated with a disintegrating piston.

You've decided the car isn't worth fixing before even diagnosing the problem. Sounds like you just want to be rid of the car and are looking for some kind of justification.

>>15214614
Piston rings, head gasket, valves, valve seats, seals, bad spark plug seal etc

Low compression is hardly a cheap thing to fix, unless you're lucky

Buy a moped in the meanwhile

>>15214614
Usually rings, or bore wear. Nothing you can just put a couple of bucks into. You'd have to rebuild at least the cylinders and re-ring the pistons.

Sounds like wires or distributor cap. Those are cheap as shit. If not, try to trade the car for a motorcycle.

If you can't afford to fix your car, you can't afford to own it.

Might as well ask this here. I also have an engine issue with my car.

>Message on dashboard appears
>"Engine Malfunction - Service Now"
>Car has over 60,000 miles, so no longer covered by powertrain warranty

How fucked am I? How much do you think this will cost me?

>>15215832
Your fucked. All of the 2012 to 13 models had massive lemons because of the auto transmission failing. Congratulations on your poor financial decisions retard

>>15215832
Righ fuked m8, shuda bought a saab

>>15214400
I blew my Miata engine up in April.
I'm sad too.
Still waiting to find a good used one, I need the BP4W.

The best thing to do is distract yourself with another hobby.

>>15214496
Add more oil, 20w-50

>>15214614
New piston rings
Oil thickener
Rebuild
