Well after a night of drifting and on the final run, Im exiting on the final turn going sideways and all the sudden the car makes a sound like a BRAP then die die die die, I let it sit a bit and had no luck restarting it. I then brought my car back to where it sits and let it sit for a couple nights, I then took it for a tow behind a truck and let it run around in gear for a bit but it would still not hold its own.



We then un-hooked my car and I let it sit for a bit more, I then tried starting it and BAM! it starts. The engine was shaking like an 8 second bull when it got going and it idles. When I rev the car past idle it sounds like more of a lawnmower then it originally did(haha), and has no power to boot.





If anyone has a clue to thinking what it was your help would be greatly appreciated. Here is some info on the car.



90 JDM RHD Turbo II

Stock TMIC

Stock Injectors

Aftermarket K&N Intake

Blitz Blowoff valve recirculated





Thats about it for mods.





Thanks alot,

Dan

Do a compression check. Expect the worst, hope for the best.
