car would not start, Help!!! VIDEO!!!!Searched before posting.
Hi!
I searched the forum before i posted this, could not find anything.
Well 1 week ago I was coming back home and at 80 km/hr when I tried pushing the gas pedal
the car started making weird sounds and It would not go, it lost power and when I would give it a little gas I could hear the exhaust shooting fireballs. The car also sounded weird. I pulled over and opened the hood but could not see any problems. I have a boost gauge and there was vacum in the turbo, there is no check engine light, This is a 91 t2 imported from Japan. The motor is pretty much stock. On the video I tried to start it later but I would not so I tried to call a tow truck but could not get a hold of anyone so later when the car started it would idle but stall sometimes, I decided to drive it home since it wasnt too far, I was going 30 km hr, could not go faster because It would start too shoot fireballs, I also could not boost it.
At home I check the intercooler and its houses for any leaks, I checked all 4 sparkplugs and I did get a spark on all of them, next day the car would start and idle a little but then stall, few days later It would not start at all. When I take the sparkplugs out they are soked in gas. The engine doesnt not seem blown but I have not tried to do a compression check. What could that be?
A week ago before it all happened I installed a car alarm with a remote start, Replaced sparkplugs and wires.

This is Vancouver BC, not new jersey, Also first time when I lost power while going 80, My friend ( who was driving behind me) told me there was lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust.

I was able to start the car by deflooding it. ( Pulled the fuse out, cranked it, and then put it back in) now The car starts but there is no change from what it was like before. It runs like on the video. I have not done the compression test yet. I can drive it but It will not go faster than 30-40. It would not boost either.

sounds like your running on 1 rotor. either a rotor isnt getting spark, or engine is blown.also reading that you replaces your plugs and wires. make sure that one didnt pop off or the cermaic didnt crack on the spark plug. check the obvious first

well my fuel injector clips/plastic connectors were all bad and cracked and i had my primary injectors rebuilt (they flow tested at 120 and are now at 125 so they were not that bad) so i bought new clips also and will put everything back together tommorow. i hope that gets both rotor running because by the looks of my spark plugs it looked like my front rotor wasnt getting any fuel
