    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    I might just leave all the timing stuff alone, from my undwrstanding most of it doesnt really go bad and I think i might pull the engine and rebuild it next year anyways, so maybe ill just go with the bandaid for now. I looked at the different kits and they all appear to look rhe same and use...

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    Ok so after a lot of thinking I figured that there was too much oil getting into the cylinder too fast. I spoke with Luis and he agreed and suggested I taste it to see if there was coolant, I got a feeding tool I have for my reef aqarium thats like a long skinny turkey baster and pulled some of...

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    I do have a PP so I would honestly be amazed if it was a piston or ring, there is a lot of oil getting into cylinder 6 very fast so im thinking its a torn head gasket. Is it possible a fuel pump leak would cause it? I see a lot of oil under the HPFP but im guesing thats just lubrication and cooling

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    Yeah but either way the valve cover has to be removed eh? I don't have the tools for a compression test but I do have the tools to remove the valve cover and take a look around At that point I had been thinking about the o rings at the top of the spark plug cups but they all look fine

    I am just removing the cover on that side right now. Its either a gasket or the ring on that piston, if its the gasket ill see the tear when I pull the cover off

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    Ok so the coils showed up, went to pull the 6 plug to check it again after I had done some tests the other night. Realized that it is actually covered in oil not gas.....so here we go, i guess ill pray its an o ring or gasket not a piston ring

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    Just got the 4, 5, 6 plugs pulled, here they are left to right is actually 5, 4, 6, i ran like 20 miles home so thats why 6 is wet, 5 and 6 are the coils I think are going/gone

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    Cool thanks, yeah i figure its the coils, still wanna check the plugs as we ran it without that upstream sensor for like 2 weeks, maybe i have a couple foul plugs, but its about time the coils died anyway

    Sudden loss of power/Blinking CEL

    So yesterday I was pulling up onto a road and right as I crossed about 90mph the car just cut out with a massive loss of power, noticed my CEL started blinking so I coasted, engine started to sound pretty rough, found out flashing CEL is usually a misfire the computer cant diagnose. Was able to...

    Front Strut replacement.

    Hey guys i just replaced my front struts the weekend before last and it was quite an ordeal so I thought I'd do a little write up and if anyone would like I can run back and take some pictures at some point. So in order to remove the front struts on the early gen 4s I believe its 2010-2012 you...

    High pitched whining from engine bay

    So this noise ended up just going away before I could troubleshoot it, I think it was a leak somewhere on th airbox as I had it removed for transmission work, i must have put it back in crooked or something.
