Engine Mechanical problem
2004 Kia Rio 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
Help, car pros !!! On my way back from Florida to Connecticut and broke down in North Carolina - lost all power and "check engine" light came on - drive belts look fine and battery and alternator good - engine cranks, but doesn't catch - sounds like 'freewheeling' when cranking - local "mechan-hack" thinks it's the timing belt - does this sound like timing belt issue to you, approximately how much will replacement cost, and what other damage may have occurred - stuck in motel for now - please advise - I'm desperate in N.C. 2nite !!!
