Hi got no responses to this ,but anyway car sat at firestone in levittown for two days they either could not fix this or did not want to fix it . Car went to a shop in bellmore . within 2 hours he knew what was wrong with the car . His engine guy picked up the car . Appears that the timing belt jumped a few teeth . At 90,000 miles guess its time . As this shop is very busy right now not getting car back until next week some time . Just glad that someone was able to find the problem . As we are dealing with a 20 year old car if i can get 2 or 3 years out of this would be fine with me . by then should be in better shape to buy a new car .
