My fiance's 1997 honda civic has been stalling the past two days and finally quit and wouldnt start again today while driving. When his dad came to help we found out there was no water in the radiator, but the thermostat had not gone above normal, and yet when we put it in 3rd to try and push it a little, not anywhere but to check, it was locked up. His dad has told us we will have to buy a new engine and we have trouble finding one for a good price, so we need to know if there are any strategies to fix this. Only serious answers with real outcome please. thanks
