Coworkers shop hasn't looked at it yet. He picks it up in about an hour. To answer a few questions. Yes, it started misfiring and backfiring all of a sudden and the rattle also. I had someone listen to it and they didn't think it was a rod knock because the rattle didn't increase when the rpms increased. When rpms were falling back down, the rattle seemed to go away for a second or two. I went to that shop to pay them for the diagnostic yesterday and got the key. People didn't even have it locked. I cranked it up and it sounded worse after they did whatever to it.
Engine has 297,000 miles on it by the way.
Vehicle body and interior are super nice, no dents, no tears in the seats, it is in really good shape. Anyhoo, coworker friend will get it this evening and diagnose it. If it needs an engine, the cost will still be 2k less than what the other shop said.
