i have been having problems with my car shaking and chugging a lot when sat in neutral. Also whilst driving im getting very little power when i put my foot down and when going up hill i am often having to go down into second gear to pick up speed again as i lose it going up hill.
my water pump recently failed on me which meant my engine overheated, my brother (also a mechanic) changed the pump and it seemed to run ok for a day or two but now the problem seems to be getting worse. My brother thinks my spark plugs could need changing, but it just doesnt feel right to me to drive. Do you think I have done more damage than intially thought, and maybe it could be the head gasket, engine trouble?
