Okay, since I was finally feeling better I switched back to my stock MAF after experimenting with an 80mm Mk VIII MAF on my 1990 SC 5-speed.
It has 195k on the clock now, so Im not sure if it is age or what.
I pulled away from my stop sign right by my house and was at about half throttle at around 3000, when suddenly the car just went POP dundundundnndnndnn and quickly came to a dead stop. I tried to crank it over again, and it cranks, except it seems to be cranking a lot faster than its supposed to. This would suggest a loss of compression, but maybe its something else.
The sudden dead halt is indicative to me that some major shiznit happened, but I am hoping and praying that this is a false alarm.
Will a fuel pump or DIS do this?
What else would cause the car to just cut out dead? I the dead stop happen with my Fiero, except in that case it was the battery messing around. That wasnt the case here.
It may have just suddenly lost spark or fuel, or it may have dropped a valve, but after cranking it, I am not hearing any horrible clanging noises, so Im thinking more or less everything is in place? As far as I can tell from the outside, everything is still where it belongs.
Ideas?
Thanks,
