Hey everyone kinda stressed out. mechanic says I need to replace my engine which i really cant afford. I have a 2001 alero coupe. Ok a week before my car wouldn't start, then i tried again a few times and it finally started. It happened again the next day and this time my friend gave me the idea to put my foot on the gas while trying to start it and when i did i revved up hard and started. The next morning when i try to start it and put the foot on the gas it just kind of stutters and tries to start but wont. keep trying with the gas pedal but it still wouldn't start. I figured it might be a fuel pump issue but the mechanic says it isn't. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I'm sorry I forgot to write down what exactly the mechanic said, something about a timing something, or a chain something... ill write it down when i talk to him tomorrow but i have to get to work and school so im really stressed about finding rides. really just want to know if anyone ha a similar problem and if i should take it somewhere else.
