Hey guys,
I was driving on Saturday and boy do I have a story for you!
I was swinging by the local stealership to get some info on a recall notice I received recently for the driver airbag deployment device, and sure enough, the car died.
I was driving down their back road in second and noticed a sudden power drop, then downshifted into first as I entered their parking lot where the car went down to idle, then stalled out completely. After a few attempts to restart, I let it roll back down onto the street and was able to get it into a parked position.
First thing I figured was that the plugs fried, so I walked over to the closest NAPA and bought a set.
After changing them in the street, to the dismay of a local police officer, I tried starting her again to no avail. Luckily she was parked on a hill so I bumped it.
Once she got started from the bump, I DID NOT let it idle, I had to keep it around 3K to avoid a stall. So I limped home on that.
Once home, I pulled the plugs again, connected them to wires and got my wife to hit the ignition to see if I was getting a spark. The front rotor did fine, both sparked and I got ignition in the chamber. With the rear rotor, my trailing plug wasn't firing. I figured wires at thing point. After going to another NAPA and purchasing those, I got them installed. The car finally fired up, but with a P0302 cylinder #2 misfire code. After playing with the throttle a bit, it went away. I took it out on the street and it immediately died. Got it back into the garage and pulled the battery (which is also new) and the 'room' fuse I read about on a thread on here. After that, no ignition. She'll try to turn over, to no avail.
The last two things I can think of are either that the coils are fried, or that my seals are done on the rear rotor......Which I obviously hope isn't the case.
The car is basically stock minus the RB Duel Res mid pipe I installed last year, which is legal in my province. She's an '05 manual.
I'm going to call my local rotary shop today and see if they have any ideas, but I figured I'd try the ALMIGHTY POWER OF THE INTERNET first.
Thanks guys, any help at all would be appreciated....
