Exclamation Engine is Dead...I mean dead dead...

my 94 altima started making clanking noises goin down the road...it was fine when i started it up about a 1/2 hour later....went fine down the road for about 5-6miles...then it started running really rough...then died and wouldnt start...i believe i blew a piston rod...so im kinda curious...i kno that if i got new pistons the engine would be like brand new...but wat are the chances the the piston rod damaged the cylinder wall...my car was also knock pretty bad before if gave me any trouble...should i buy a new engine? or just replace the pistons?...does anyone kno an site to go to for engines? any input would help...

Thanks in Advance!

Kurtis

You need to have the computer scanned to determine what is going on with you car, before you figure out what is the best approach for repairs.

Regardless in order to determine what is wrong with your Altima you need to have the computer scanned, regardless if the CEL is on or not. Alot of us are not going to be able to help you diagnos your problem with mentioned the engine is blown.

Did you do a cylinder compression test to determine if its internal engine problems?

We need more information to help diagnose what is wrong. Get some codes or something.
