I have a 3.8l 94 pontiac transport which I love so very much. I can't decide one thing though. The engine is becoming loud and is very embarassing at times. Should I find a fix for this to make it run like new or would it just be cheaper to buy a whole new engine for it? Would putting a different engine in it work? As in nothing from the origional transport. Something like a montana or something newer? Also, where would I find an entire replacement engine? please help me! I am stuck on this decision!!


any more info needed, just say so.
 
Well, what I'm wondering is how is the engine loud? Can you just hear it a lot? If it's just loud, like a lot of combustion noise, then it's probably just an exhaust leak that you can get fixed easily for $300 or less.

If it's the actual engine and it's making a knocking sound, it would probably be wise to replace the car.

I'd either have someone who knows cars look at it in person to see if it's an exhaust leak (you can tell by listening), or if it's an actual engine noise.

Good luck!
 
You need to make the appointment at your local service center for a complete engine check. It might be something so simple that can be
replaced in an hour. I would spend the hundred dollars or so to be sure the car was safe and you are safe driving it.
