Hi Louis,

It sounds like your engine is shot, and probably needs to be rebuilt if not replaced. The cost of the repair will come down to parts and labor. Here's what you can expect to pay on average:

Parts= $200-$720 depending on the quality of the rebuild kit.

Labor= 1-2 days $250-$420 depending on the shop's hourly rate and the skill of the mechanic.

Total= $450-$1,140+

Considering the age of your van, you may want to look up its resale value through Kelly Blue Book. If the cost of the repair is worth more than the van itself, it may be time to cut your losses and go shopping for a new ride.
