I was driving my FC on the highway, 50mph, 5th gear, like 2500rpm, when it suddenly started to cut out like it was running out of fuel, it then began to smoke and died, all in a matter or about 20 sec's. Car wouldnt restart. The smoke was oil smoke for sure and when i popped the hood i could see that oil had sprayed all over the back driver-side of the engine bay. I couldnt tell where the oil came from. The car is a 88 n/a, all stock. any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best option for me if my n/a FC has a blown motor? Rebuild it? Buy new motor, if so from where? Try to pull one out of a junkyard car? kill myself?

I dont know much about Rotories, I just bought this car, and only got to drive for 10 miles before this happened. I was hoping this car could be a nice daily driver...

 

that sucks. Did u blow the oil line? And chances are if u blew something like that its gonna be a rebuid

 

i am not sure, if i blew the oil line, would it smoke oil out the exhaust? There is oil spots on the back of the car from it smoking so bad....

 

anybody else have an idea what could have gone wrong?

 

well the oil in the engine bay had to come from SOMEWHERE. find out where then go from that...

 

i think there is an overflow and if you over fill and it shoots out of there when its underpressure but mine is bareblocked so it could be something else. I doubt its blown though. I can get you a short blovk probably for free if the kid stillhas it good luck and lets hope it doesnt come to that

 

come to think of it, i do believe it was over filled with oil.... i should find out tommarow.
