He's givin you the truth and nothing but the truth those are all symptoms of a blown head gasket wich is usually a pretty pricey job. I guess you need a final price and then weigh out whether its more economical for you to save it or replace it. It Happens Good luck.
p.s If you keep it make sure the entire cooling system is flushed to prevent further problems

Hello, I would assume this is your fuel pump inside your tank. I would first however do some basics like a general tuneup. For starters I would replace your spark plugs and wires, rotary cap and button and check your fuses. Run some injector cleaner through your system. You know quick simple cheap things before you get to the fuel pump inside the gas tank which can be kinda expensive. The warm up then dies can be caused by, "blownout or fouled," spark plugs. I hope this gives you a general direction in which to go. A sidenote is that coil packs do not normally run an igntion code and I for one do not like them becuase they are expensive.

Yes the shops technician got it right. as per the error code which you mentioned.These 2 codes are usually caused by a faulty crankshaft sensor (P0321) & possibly an ignition module (P1361). When replacing these parts part attention to the female electrical terminals in each connection. They will sometimes "spread" & cause an intermitten open circuit. Check each female electrical terminal with an opposing male terminal. There should be a small amount of "drag" when connecting the two of them. Thanks.Helpmech.

Hi, it happened to me. It was the Head Gasket. It is indeed very pricey to repair or to replace. It will be your decision what to do. I decided to repair, because I cannot buy a new car at this point in time, but I am also very sentimental about my "Skedonkie", which is a 1994 160i Opel Astra.
