Hey guys;
My GTS just died on me on the highway from work today. It just went dead while I was driving... I managed to get off to the side of the road, but now I'm stranded here. The engine will turn and if I turn the key to the "start" position and put it in gear I can move the car forward and reverse, but the engine won't fire. I've popped the hood and notice a small bit of smoke coming up from around the tranny area, literally right below the top rad hose. (5SFE) I will look up how to check the computer when I get home to see what the code is, but does anyone have any ideas off the top of their head?  -------------------- |

The smoke could have just been from the small oil leak I have...
So if it backfired (which is possible, but I don't remember hearing that...) could that have cause the Timing Belt to get f-d up? That might explain why it turns over, but refuses to fire - because the compression is facked. This post has been edited by KAOS: Aug 7, 2009 - 8:46 PM -------------------- |
