Wow Phil, that sucks, good luck with getting her working well again. Hopefully it doesn't hurt the wallet too much.

Got the car back this afternoon. Car is running as it was before now. They replaced the PCV valve and some other parts. Total bill was around $560 with tow, turned out a friend could have done the work for free. I didn't know what was wrong at the time because it looked bad so I took it to shop. Not bad though, I was expecting it may be a busted motor. I was thinking the worst.
