The car has been sitting with out running for about 3 weeks now. I replaced my thermostat with a 180 and new gasket to try to stop the leak, and i also reinstalled the computer in which i loaded up an emissions tune from my eec tuner. Got the car started right up and idled fine, so i took it for a spin to warm it up and see if the thermostat gasket was leaking. Car ran fine no issues. Got home, went inside and came out 5 mins later to find the top rad hose wasn't held down in the right place and had sprayed coolant everywhere. Wipe everything off, make sure everything is in the right place, then started the car to make sure that it wasn't leaking again, it wasn't. I turned off the car, and got some paper work for the emissions test got pack in the car and started it. Little delay on the start but nothing hugely noticable so started driving, noticed what seemed like a little bit of a bog/ loss of power but nothing huge, barely noticable. Got to an intersection where i needed to make a turn and bam car falls on its face, idling like its got vac leak, no power, stumbling. I managed to get it home and I reload my previous tune that I know runs fine and I swapped out my coil pack with my extra one, no difference.
Im going to take a guess and say that some coolant got on my crank sensor and fried it, but that seems pretty far fetched. It's not a vac leak because I didn't touch anything that would have caused a vac leak this big so Im leaning towards incorrect timing, ala crank sensor. What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Phil
