Car went Boom
I posted a couple of threads about my car running rough. My car finally said F U on my way home. Motor started to get really loud at 55mph. So i started to slow down and then the rpm started to drop as I slowed down, and the motor got louder. Then it finally just quit and there was smoke coming out of the hood. Pulled over to find out that I had a fire. Put the fire out and that is where the broken motor car and melted engine harness sat till truck came.

Waiting on warranty stuff right now.

Car was running rough for a few days a week or so ago. It cleared up and went away. Car didnt much power to get to move from a stop light, it was skipping. A day before all this happened the car was running fine. That night when i drove home it was fine till i was about 15 min from home.
