i think my engine blew!
i think that my engine blew while i was driving it home. all i heard was a poping sound and then my car just died on me. it even won't start back up now and there is some smoke coming out form the back.
i even just got temp. plates for my car yesterday.do u think i can rebulid it or i need a new engine.

i think i had a vacuum leak before already b/c my idle wasn't staying. but when it was like that the car will start right up. i think i need to find someone to check my compression.

Go to AutoZone, or similar, and get a regular compression gauge. Remove the Shrader valve, and you're all set. DO NOT take it to a Mazda dealer, they will give you false readings.
