For the past few weeks, my timing chain has been rattling all the time. It was really loud and annoying, making my car sound like it was diesel. I called the dealer yesterday to get a quote to get the timing chain replaced and all that fun stuff, but i didnt get ahold of anyone. So i go about my normal business, and decide to go to the mall to buy a DVD. Right when i get there and am pulling into my parkin spot, the car stalls. I figured this was the same issue as before with the bad idle, which cleared up with a simple wiggling of the wires for my MAFS comin off the intake. So i get out of the mall, start to head home, and it stalls again. Pull into a huge open spot in the parkin lot and I try messin with the wires, but it didnt do anything. SOB! I start the journey home, bout 15 miles just hoping i dont hit any red lights so it wouldnt stall. So on my way home from the mall, the rattle gets louder, and being only a mile away from home, I decide to go
40 mph on the highway to be safe. Less than a half mile to go, i hit a red light, and my car stalls out, and i look behind me and a HUGE cloud of white smoke is in my rear view. W$#%@#$%@! so i pull into the turn lane, hop out and start pushin. When it stalled, i didnt hear any noise or anything like that. I get it to the side of the road, and its still smokin and whatnot. Sat there for awhile, and when my dad came and got me, he decided i should try and turn it on. It would turn over, but the engine wouldnt stay on. so we call and get it towed to the dealer, where its at right now. Just waiting for them to call back, cuz they said they might look at it today.What are the chances that my engine is completely shot? If the chain completely broke, would it have made a crapload of noise? And if it just jumped a tooth, what kind of damage could it have done?
