Going south on the 15, at around Rancho Bernardo Dr. And all of the sudden my engine light comes on, and my temp gauge shoots all the way over. So I quickly pull off the motorway, and shut it down. Damn there was steam every where, in fact I almost thought my car was on fire at first.
Well I pop the hood and the first thing I check is my dipstick, and under the oil cap........... Thank God! no water in the oil. After it cools down, I turn the key and it fires up fine. (OK the timming belt is OK).
But not knowing what is wrong, I decide that a tow is a lot cheeper than a new engine at 1030PM at night.
Well $200 later (25miles home on a flatbed) my car is in the car park, and tomorrow it goes on another hook to my mechanics. I am just hoping it is a hose, water pump, or a thermostat?
DAMN! this totally blows! :ohsnap:
