the car was running just fine. i went into a store and when i came out. i started the car up it started knocking really bad. I had to made it home with the car running that way. The car was taken to a mechanic. We were told that the car's engine's 2 and 3 cylinders were shot. A new engine would cost about $2000 to replace plus labor.
