Hi All!
Ok I have a '07 with 130,000km on it. I've noticed lately a lack of power, hard starts and rough idle.
I have replaced the starter motor with an s2, and I purchased (but not installed) a set of BHR coils, wires, plugs - and I also purchased a s2 pump assembly arriving today.
I thought I was getting a head of the problem preemptively ordering the pump - but literally 2 days later my car wouldn't start after a drive to work.
It cranked and sounded like it wanted to - or would almost catch then would die. I tried the pedal the floor for 2 sets of 8 seconds to try and clear a possible flood (my car has never flooded on me in 10 years) - but when I went to start normally, the engine only cranks and there is now absolutely no attempt to start - it just cranks freely.
Also when I hooked up my jumper-pack to support battery for cranking, I noticed my positive battery terminal was causing my starter to crank slower then it should - but I fixed by slipping on a terminal over-post to re-establish a tight connection. Don't know if that was the initial cause of the flood? - IF it even is flooded??
My OEM coils are about 40-50k on them, and fuel pump is original.
Right now the car was towed to my driveway, but I'm not sure what I should do next to narrow it down. If I installed new coils and plugs, and my pump is bad, could I hurt the new coils and visaversa? Should I first install plugs and see if that helps?
Looking for some help with an experienced member "what would you do next"!
Thank you!!
