When it blew up, the car was in my driveway up on jackstands. it was running like crap and i was trying to sort it out for the previous 2 weeks, but that day i went to start it up, it turned over, fired up, and BOOM!, that was that.
sounds like maybe there was a bad injector, one cylinder loaded up with fuel and hydraulicked (sp?) the cylinder case........not good whatever the cause.
