Engine repair question about 2008 Town and Country 3.8L

It’s not that I don’t care, or that it isn’t a priority. It’s that I’m unemployed at the moment and can’t afford to throw what little money I do have into what “might” be the issue. I already have most of the parts I need for the brakes. That is a known issue, so I’m taking care of that. As far as the engine goes, I will get it taken care of. I’m sorry if I’m not moving to your timeline. I can only do what I can do. You have all given me good advice here, so don’t think I’m not appreciative. But I have to move at a pace that is financially feasible for me and my family.
