I have a 03 Nissan Altima with approximately 96,000 miles on it, and my warranty ended at 75,000 miles/3 year. Just recently I let my mother use the vehicle for the weekend in which she had a crackhead boyfriend at the time in which I wasnt aware about, well anyway she lended him the car in which he didnt ever return back with it that following weekend. So now I have a crackhead with my altima, luckily I have a GPS chip installed just in case the vehicle was ever stolen so I went to go rent a vehicle and went personally to go get my stolen vehicle, I found him and I was on a chase with him from Dallas,TX to about 15 minutes from the border of Oklahoma, during the chase were exceeding of speeds of around 95 to 130 mph (during the whole way, there werent any police in sight which was crazy) I was in a 3.5 dodge 06 charger, I got him to stop and he got out the vehicle and ran away and latter was arrested. Now so I get my car back and notice that the engine light is on also im late.

Specific Details on 2.5 altima: the car wont start, turning on the car would shoot white smoke out exhaust, while driving it at 2000 rpm to 3500 rpms the car would make a loud noise of as if air was coming out from the front or under the engine,a major loss of performance I would press the gas and it didnt pick up any type of torque or speed you had to give it maybe between 30 seconds for it to get to 60mph when I was getting on the freeway, while on the highway experienced overheating temps shown from the radiator gauge,while sustaning speeds at 60 mph, I replaced the oil (full synthetic)after the incident and when I did that the car started to have trouble and eventually turned off, since this day I have tried to turn it on and nothing just a ticking noise as if the battery is dead. thats all what is going on with the car for those that needed me to explain in great detail.

Aside from the check engine light. What would make you think the head is blown? Is there water in the oil? Steam coming from the exhaust? the car running rough? always having to add water to the radiator? it was a wonderful story but it really lacked in details that could have helped us answer the question. If you only have a check enginee light I would pull the codes and see what it says. It's possible the gas cap is loose. that can cause a check engin light. the O2 sensor could be burned out. he could have crunched the exhaust pipe up and is causing a back pressure problem. with out more detail about how the car performs there is not a whole lot we can go on here.

If a 3.5 dodge (which comes from factory with a blown head gasket) caught up with a 03 Nissan Altima with no cops in sight, I would say yes. The Altima is toast.

you didn't say what was happening with the car, a check engine light doesn't mean something is terribly wrong.
Might have just drove so fast the emissions went over the limit and the oxygen sensor set off the check engine light.
If thats it, then you just clear the codes.
Check the codes and see what it says.
