Hi guys, can some please help me out here.. im 600km away from home and my car wont start..

So I was driving the other day and stoped at a traffic light and pulled away at a pace.. slowed down and next second my car starts running terribly.. it felt like I was running on 1 rotor, sounds like its missing and absolutely no power, i have to take a run up to get up a steep hill otherwise it wont make it up..

I turned the car off and started it and it ran the same (like crap but atleast it started)

So I figured I would check my spark plugs for any spark, and the 2 on the rear rotor didn't spark, so I replaced them all and tried again and it didn't start at all now.. but when I tested the old plugs by turning the engine over with the back plugs out and the front ones in the car started to idle but I quickly turned it off because im sure it not good to run the motor with no compression on one of the rotors.. (no compression on back rotor)

I dont think its a fuel problem because I can smell loads of fuel when trying to start it..

I have pulled out the EGI fuse and cranked the motor to get the fuel out but still doesn't start..

I'm lost on what else I can do to try and start the car..

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks,
Luke

 

The coils have a 3 to 1 wire close to the oil filter neck that attaches to the harness unplug it and turn the key you should hear a constant woosh woosh woosh if you don't hear that or hear a woosh woosh brap or metal sound then u might need a rebuild and the car might not start anyways either way plug it back in and start the car. Double check your spark plug wire firing order left coil goes to top left middle top goes to bottom left middle low goes to lower right and right goes to top right looking at it from the drivers side fender

 

What were you doing prior to this?
When was the last time it got hot or got raced or revved hard or generally any hard operating condition?

Mileage? Rebuilt or original? General condition? Stock ECU? Any known compression numbers?

Also..

Did you check that the MAP sensor is plugged in and no hoses fallen off? TPS still plugged in, etc? Nothing out of the ordinary?

Bit more info and we might be able to get a picture of what's happened

 

When you say hot, you mean 2nd turbo will kick in? In that case, the same day it happened.

I was driving around for a while, and then drove the car hard.. change at 8k..

Mileage is 70k km on original engine, condition of engine and car is great, much better than alot of cars I've seen..

Stock ecu.. compression I dont know. But car was performing very well and no issues.

Tps is still plugged in, hoses are all connected..

Will have to check the map sensor tomorrow but im sure its still pluged in..

I did manage to start the car this morning by removing the fuel pump relay but it ran with out it in and it wasn't running properly, sounds like its running on one rotor..

 

When I said 'When did it last get hot' I meant 'When did it last overheat/when was the last time you saw the temperature gauge rise'.

If you dont know the compression, and its at 70,000km and you were shifting it at 8000rpm, on the stock engine and ECU.... And its starting and idling on what sounds like one rotor.... You need to do a compression test. And be ready for some results you may not want to hear

 

Hasn't over heated since I've had the car..

I'll do a compression test as soon as I can.. I just hope the motor hasn't been destroyed inside by running it if the seals have gone..

 

A lot of things can cause the car to run on one rotor, so start with the basic, check your injectors and coils. And when you say the 2 rear spark plug didn't spark, how did you check it?
