Code 12

Distributor recently changed

Car died while coming to a spot at a friend's house. Took 3 cranks to get it running. Then died while coming to a stop sign 25ft from my friends house. Then in front of my house. This time tried cranking but no go. Got it kick started and let idle for 5mins. Then tried to rev the engine a bit in the engine bay, car didnt rev and died. Car was pushed into the garage and didnt start for 5mins. Tried 5 times cranking the ish and the 5th time it started with a low 400rpm idle for about 30secs and then went back to normal. I let the car run for about 3 mins while waiting for Herosblade to drive down and revved the car high, low, and medium rpm range. This time the car didnt shut off.

thoughts??

**problem came back, but i have new experiences

My moms co-worker's husband said he could save my engine.

Head gasket kit $160 his labor $600 Sending the Head to get redone between $500-$700 total = $1500

Dad said why not. I say NO! that's almost a 2nd gen 3s swap.

what you guys think.

yeah mike it got worse

No way. Don't feel bad cause it also happened when I had the 7afe, only thing I wasn't home to witness what happened So, are you going to go through with the 3sgte swap then or going to find a low mileage 5sfe in the meantime? Just work with what can fit your budget IMO.

yeah budget is everything. thank god for knowing the right people.
