Glad it is not the head gasket. Were you getting a lot of funky smoke out the tail-pipe? Coil is usually not starting. Head gasket repair is kinda expensive, what's worse is if you have a cracked head...Then you're talking new engine. Ouch...

The hubby's had me out to look at all kinds of cars to possibly replace his. Trouble is, he doesn't know what HE wants.

Good luck with the poetry subs.
