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 canīt get one until next week, if even then. Might go the Ebay route.
Suggestions?
