Default Re: PT Died going around corner

Welcome to the forum.

My thoughts? Does it turn over OK when trying to restart it? If it does, at least you didn't seize up the engine. At 116K the most likely culprit is a blown timing belt.

Along with the timing belt, change the water pump, serpentine and alternator belts and a new tensioner that came out in 2003. All about $1000.00

...and once you get it back together, check the oil more often.
