Finally broke 115k miles and she gave out with little to no warning. Started the care pulled out of a parking lot and when idling the car acted and felt like the front end had hydraulics. I drove it back into the parking lot, checked the oil and she was about 2qts shy. Added the oil and she still acted like it was, Drove to the local auto parts store and did a code check. Codes thrown indicated CRANKSHAFT POSITION A, FUEL RAIL SYSTEM, FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR A, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. My mechanic said it would probably be ok to drive it to them so I did, The vehicle drove "normally" as fuel was being applied to the engine via the pedal, and only was idling rough and eventually died twice in transit, but re-fired normally.
Mechanic stated it was an issue with a timing chain that caused issues with oil consumption and eventually led to a valve issue. Now the car wont start, when they did a compression test the numbers were 80, 155, 0 and 0. I was also told that this is a "common" issue with these nox's and I can see several threads on here that started in a similar fashion. Just sucks, I really did enjoy the nox and now I am potentially in the market for a new vehicle.
New engines are not all that easy to find on my own and I am not sure I trust a junk yard one as it may have the same problems.
