Re: Engine just Died !!(Solved)

Post by SMKNG ACE »

Ok here goes.

Not sure what it is or caused it.

My sx with CA18DET just died while driving. i think i heard a rattling noise just before that and it lost all power.

It sounds like the engine got no compression at all when turning.
Oil is good , fuel good, water good and temp normal at time of incident.
Car got no big mods just bigger intercooler and exhaust rest is stock.

Any input appreciated.
Maybe it is time for a decent rebuild.

Thanks in advance

Check your compression first dude.

ok guys cars engine seems ok valves fine cambelt fine plugs great.

AND i have decided to pull the engine to overhaul and fit my branches and new turbo after rebuild on engine .. now i need to budget for all the overhauling parts.

Thanx guys but i have no clue what it is and will have to pull the engine and open up to see.

But first i have a shoulder operation and then only i will pull the engine. When i have both my arms working again.

Before you pull you have to make sure it's mechanical, otherwise you redo the engine and it still doesn't start
