| Description of the problem | At 148,000 miles on the freeway the gas pedal would not give any power, still running but would not go, stalled a few times. Had to pull over and wait, restart and go a few miles, pull over and wait, then go, etc. Come to find out there was not a drop of oil left. After replenishing, still had issues, then noticed the anti-freeze was low. Replenished is now drivable but continues to burn oil. No leaking & i changed the pcv valve with no results. I'm still adding close to a quart of oil everyday. Have reason to believe the piston rings and valves are shot and oil is circulating throughout/into cylinders. Now it's on its last leg, 152,000 miles. It's been a good ride but time to go. Note* a/c stopped working at 66,000 miles |
