Ugh, what a bummer. Similar problems gave me a pretext for ditching my Echo. Junkyard gave me $180 for it, towed on their dime. I coulda fixed it, probably, for about $100 and an afternoon,but I was done with a car which needed hours of prep to pass annual inspection, had perpetually moldy carpet, 273k on the clock, and an auto trans. Lots more story there, but I am happy with the Civic I got to replace it.

If you really like the car, engine replacement is a viable option, cheaper than another equivalent vehicle...
