I was on my way to crail for some drag racing this sunday just passed, the first round-a-bout out of town i put the foot down in 2nd gear... hitting the limiter for a second then car let out 2 backfires and in the rear view i see black smoke and i think flames
The car was dying on me so i pulled over, water temp was fine and still had good oil press before it cut out and no holes in the block no oil or water leaks, the car was not keen to start but we did get it to idle for 20 seconds but it ended up cutting out.
I got a tow home from a mate and then jumped in gary91's glanza and headed down.
*no discoloured oil
* compression test all came out at 150-155 so all were fine.
* BUT plug 4 had oil around the threads but NOT on the spark plug electrode (maybe the seals)
*all plugs were a tan colour none were black or white but there are pritty old by the look of them.
*no bad noises from the engine either
*no water mixing with oil anywhere to be seen either
what do you guys think?
