MF'r broke down....round two!!! |
Subject: MF'r broke down....round two!!! by Matatk on 2011/6/16 23:00:59 You all may recall a post a while back that I made on the side of the road almost a year ago....well here I am again. Took the car to the store to do some errands. Was running well. Coming home temps were around 210 oil/coolant. I was watching the gauges and the oil temp started jumping erratically....190/202/196/213/199 etc. I thought that was weird. Oil pressure at idle seemed a little low...about 14-16 psi, but under load was normal 40-60 range. Kept driving about 2 more miles just normally, not aggressively. I was on a side street a mile from home and it just died. F#&k! Won't restart. The only other thing I noticed is my main fan isn't coming on with ignition, but works with aldl jumpered. That is probably the cooling problem I was experiencing. That seems unrelated to this as my temps were ok. Also, no codes. So I am waiting for a tow truck as I type. Ugh. I'll update once I can do some diagnostics. Matthew |
