Son Killed Engine
My Son Borrowed My 99cl Which I Love. It Over Heated Some How. And It Smoked Under The Hood And Out The Tail Pipe. Now Its At An Acura Dealer In Marietta Ga Getting A New Engine. Its Has 160k. Was This A Smart Thing To Do? I Didn;t Want To Part With The Car. What Problems Should I Look For? Cost Is $3400. I Would Appreciate Any Input, Positive Or Negative.

Son Killed Engine Reply
mY CAR IS A 3.0. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE DROVE THE CAR HARD 300
MILES TO ATLANTA. I GUESS I SHOULD NOT HAVE IGNORED THE LIGHT.
BATTERY ACID WAS ALL OVER EVERYTHING. IT BEGAN TO SMOKE AFTER SITTING TURNED OFF FOR 15 MIN. SO SAYS MY SON. DOES ANY THING MAKE SENSE
ALSO IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF, NO WARNING, AS I WAS DRIVING. BUT NOT OFTEN
THIS FORUM HAS HELPED ME IN THE PAST. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING

Oh god, it's at a dealer in Marietta? Like... Nalley Acura? 
If you think your son messed it up, just wait until they get finished with it. They are the most incompetent bunch of morons anyone would ever encounter.

I work for a honda dealership out of Boulder Co and i can honestly say that its highly unlikely for any person to be the cause of engine failure as you described. If the check engine was on, whoever neglected to take care of that issue is at fault. That little light actualy means something....and its not to be blown off as nothing. The cars computer is very sensitive to change and if theres something wrong....it needs to be looked at right away.

this was with my mazda but still, could be the case, its much more likely that he just ran the car overheated for too long and blew the head gasket.
