Get used head from J/Y for around $300 or less, practice on your blown one, just take off and put beck on, if you can do that than go and buy used head and haynes manual to line up timming belt. another car will cost alot and no guaranty that it will last

This is the answer. Unless the car is falling apart body wise there's always hope.

my sister got rid of her beater Sentra because she said it was costing her @$50-100 to fix little things. She went and bought a 2001 Corolla and was driving down to Fla. when the trans died. She sold the car to a local mechanis for the price of a plane ticket from Va. to Fla. The Corolla cost her 3k and she is out a bunch of money. by the way a coworker of mine bought the Sentra off her spent $1100 fixing everything correctly and is still driving the car to this day.

fix it right and it will keep on tickin'

timing belt went out the other day and didnt make a single sound...jus died on me....mechanic checked it said it was gone plus the head is damaged...anyway its gonna be around 900$ to fix should i keep it or jus get another car.....and dont say swap lol i cant really afford that funds are very low...but i want a h22 bad o well might as well jus buy another right?

ummmm... you siad it didnt make "any noise" when it died on ya right? no ping, clank, knock, crunch, no jerking motion?? just flat out died like if you were to turn the key off while driving?

i had this scenario with a friend and his mechanic once where he tried to tell him that.. in his case it ended up being the coil in the diz. ended up being alittle cheaper than the 1600 bucks he quoted lol.

heres the things i would do first:

1. take the tbelt housing off and check it... see how bad it is.

2. replace and re-time engine with a used belt from somewhere... cuz if the engine is screwed, you dont want to waste money on a new one yet.

3. crank the motor over by hand first from tdc to tdc, this well give you an idea if there's anything interfering with the pistons or broken inside the motor before you actually start it.

4. unplug ecu fuse and crank it over for about 2-3 seconds, if it sounds like a typical honda motor cranking, or sound like it did before this whole ordeal the you might be in luck..

5. next you can either do a compression test or you can just throw the fuse back in and see if it runs. if it does, then purchase a new belt and put it on.. remember to tdc everything before doing so. put tbelt housing back on and all. yer good to go.

those are the steps i would take before assuming its totally botched. if for some reason it sounds like it has comp but doesn't start, then do a compression test... if its good and still nothing then its something else in the car... electrical or fuel related.

if your planning on getting rid of the car, its already broken... so ya don't need to put it back together if its royaly screwed lol. and well ya learn a little something out of it.

just my .02cents
