I Think My 7 Is Dead

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/public/style_emoticons//11.gif I called the shop where it is at and the guy said that he thinks the problem is internal. I asked if the engine had any compression and he said he was going to check on it now and to call him in about an hour. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/public/style_emoticons//11.gif What would cause an engine with 112,000 miles to die like that? Cold weather? lack of driving it? driving it to hard? Anyone need a parts car? I am taking offers. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/public/style_emoticons//violin.gif

the guy said it has a little bit of compression, he mentioned something about a reed valve? He said he is going to put trans fluid in on of the cylinders?

Is this the same car you have mentioned in your signature? The one I PM'd about and you said you were asking $2500?

if so that's pretty retarded.

the $2500 was when it was running fine now it is down to about $500, while it is not running. It changes day to day what ever mood i am in.
