Hey guys,
I've owned my 2000 4.6 HSE for just over 3 years now (and I love It dearly!) and have never had a severe engine problem until recently, only basic maintenance. So here's my problem: I was driving to a friends house who is no more that 3-4 city blocks away, and my temp gauge spiked briefly, then returned to normal. I guess i didn't think much of it, then the real problem occured. I was driving home from the airport later that night when the temp gauge was acting very strangely, it would spike briefly then return to normal, 3-4 times this happened within a minute or two so I pulled over and as I pulled to the side of the road, my rover lost power! Now it barely turns over, if at all, due ton VERY low compression
Is this just something like a head gasket or am I in way over my head?
Thanks a lot for any help!
