Well, it happened to me too.
Just off the highway into a right corner and the engine puffs, wheezes and gives up. Managed to push it home, believe it or not.
It was a puff/gassy sound, not a clank/mechanical one.
Oil light on, check engine light on.
Have gas. Normal petrol pump sound from rear when ignition on. No help from a battery booster. 12.5 volts ignition on.
Removed ground wire and cleaned the connection. No frayed wires.
Spark plugs were a bit loose(!), now tightened. Spark from both. They look ok.
Oil cap seal intact.
Fault codes:
PO170 Bad Sites front
PO173 Bad Sites rear
No idea what they mean. Anyone?
Maybe rectifier, but can´t get one until next week, if even then. Might go the Ebay route.
Suggestions?
