Broke down again
04. Jun 2009 at 10:04

3 miles on the way to work - heard a funny noise and immediately stopped.

Checked car - cam belt in one piece, water pump pulley had two loose bolts - retightened them.

Misfired all the way home, running on 135, 0300 0302 0304 - didn't bother waiting for 0306

Before a lift arrived, plug 2 wet, plenum not yet removed nor bagpipes, but will remove when home.

Why would a whole bank go down like that?

The other tuned 2.6. DIY LPG, towbar, upgrade ICE & Wing Spoiler, Air shocks, Eibach Pro Springs, Poly WB bushes, WIM setup, HID conversion, 3.0 cams, ported ect.

Jun 2009 at 11:44 Water pump pully - need to find out if me or electric place left loose - I know it worked loose. Could it have jammed the cam belt at all and caused tooth jumping? What else could cause all the 246 misfire errors?

Can't see how it would have affected the cambelt unless something had actually broken off the body of the pump.

Jun 2009 at 13:29 The alternator lot should not ahve touched the water pump. Is the coil pack plugged in? Is the additional capacitor at the rear of the 2-4-6 bank also connected? Does it run ok with the MAF disconnected?

May be my fault, may be theirs - but it was fine on Monday

What does it do - yes I did reconnect it when I refitted the heads

Will check when I reassemble.

That said plug 2 was slightly wet
