My first run at the 1/4 for the day and here is what happened. I think my clutch slipped so when i shifted to 3rd I bounced off the rev limiter. Cars dies mid track, lights were on the dash I turn it over while rolling and it starts roughly. Continue to get my timeslip my car dies when i stop. rough to start but get it back moving until ultimately it dies and wont start. I tow it home.



It trys to turn over but weirdly the rpms barely budge from "0",



SPARK: Checked, got a good spark from each plug wire

ENGINE CODES: 1 for 02 sensor (recent dp install)

FLOODED? Used the unflooding procedure, atf, with a jump in case my battery was dead..nothing

MAP: fully attached

FUSES: all fine from what i can tell

FUEL: pump working, jumped f/p to ground and removed fuel line near oil filler neck and have fuel pressure

Coolant looks good, oil level fine

I can hear even compression pulses, feel the pulses coming out the holes. I was unsuccessful trying to read compression I couldn't get any reading. I know blown motors start...the main pulley moves when I try to turn it over, I'm going to try to start it with starter fluid in the uim, try another compression test, and maybe a pop start ANY OTHER IDEAS?? (frustrated)

Check the compression. Give us your results!

would it be possible to get no compression in either rotor? I tried testing earlier but thought something wasnt right because i wasn't getting no pressure what so ever. Rpms aren't really budging off of 0 either

I tried pop starting today, and couldnt get it to turn over. Compression test yeilded "0" in both housings with the rpms not budging from "0". I can hear the rotors turning..

is the engine cranking at normal speed? or really slow?

if you have twins, and can hear air then you blew a line... car will run like that, happened to me before and did almost the same stuff...



dunno, just a thought

Probly there is something internally wrong? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif
