02 mazda tribute blown head gasket?
Hello and thanks for any help,
I have a 2002 Mazda tribute LX, 3.0 , V6 ,2WD
Last week I parked my car at night and wouldn't start the next morning,
I have checked my fuel pump and lines, I have checked my coil packs and there is no fire to only #5 ,
The motor spins and spins but won't turn over, I hear the fuel pump priming, I have power inside the car as well.
I'm unsure how to check compression, but a friend said it sounds fine,
So I pulled it to a shop and the mechanic said it's a blow head gasket? Priced it at $2,500
It was driving fine until that night, may have idled low once in awhile while the motor was cold, but no signs of a problem like that.
I'm looking for a 2nd opinion. I'm stumped and need a bit of help,
Thanks.
