Talking MY motors DEAD

welll yesterday night...i was chilling w/ my friends infront of albertsons express....we just happened to run into each other
some guy walks up to us and asks if we want to make a quick $20...so....being poor college kids...we jumped on the deal...all we had to do was give him a jump....

i take him back to his car...and as soon as i get near his car...my motor turned off....i thought...no biggy....engine...wouldn't start....
luckily my friend was there w/ his s2k...and wellhe got both our cars started....

right when we're about to leave for molcasalsa....it dies again....(left it running)....but now...the guy w/ the jumper cables is gone..so we push start....works...but then on of my cylinders isn't working....sounds like its just a bad spark plug....cuz my motor was....gurglr gurgle gurgle POP....still good...just one sprakplusg to replace.....

oh yea...couple secs later.....shuts OFF~!....we tried 3 more times....each time.....it just get worse and worse... its about 12am now....
we were like F this..cuz iwas in no overnight parking place....so i got in my car and tried to start again....works but now its to the point where im flooring it and itonly revs to 200-300prm... the throttle didn't make any difference....
i barely made it home w/ the help of 6 friends pushing my car ....the car was REALLY freaking bad idle...when im dirving it felt like i was a BRAND new kid learning todrive....on a manuel....when i opened my hood at home....oh yea...
CLUTCH AND OIL just....BURNING....
i took a big whiff.....and i was about to yake~!

well.....i guess it REALLY time for a new motor now.... hey....its a OMEN~!

thats a really odd story, not that it never happens, mroe so that its a s14...i usually hear such tales from fellow s13 owners, anyhow how much was the mileage? and i say either go KA24DE or Sr20Det...

how often do you do maintainence on your car? That would suck if the car was properly maintined and given regular tune ups.

Sorry to hear about the death of the motor. I would go with a Ka24deT or a Sr20det, personally.
