For over year my engine has been running rough and sometimes stalling. Fix one replaced secondary fuel pump. Oil consumption test ran and was burning oil. Service adviser said they would replace the engine. Upon picking up vehicle, I was told they replaced the timing chain, pistons and rings.
Now, it is starting to run rough again. My research showed that fuel pump failure can cause fuel to pour into the oil system, which can start eroding the metal in the engine parts that come into contact with the contaminated oil/fuel mixture. Was the partial rebuild a temporary patch until the extended warranty runs out?
