I was driiving on the highway yesterday and my car stalled. While checking out anything that could have gone wrong (coil, distributor, fuses, etc.) I notice that there was no resistance when I manually turned the crank. So yes! the worst thing that could happen, happened! Broken timing chain! Does my 1998 Altima GXE have an "interference engine" (to make this repair a nightmare)? Or can I just replace the chain without doing a complete valve job? Anyone experience this situation?
