Hello Everyone,
Longtime listener, first-time caller.
First let me say that I have admired the M3W for probably 15 years, and I finally pulled the trigger and bought one from auction (thanks BAT!) and I accepted delivery of my 2013 British Racing Green beauty just over a week ago (Monday). LOVE IT! It is everything that I had hoped for, and my lovely wife concurs.
We were out for a nice run this last weekend, enjoying the absolutely perfect driving weather this last Sunday around DFW.
I was coming onto the highway, accelerating on the on-ramp, when I heard a pop from the engine and lost power. I was able to keep running, albeit with an odd tapping noise, to get to my son's house. Low power, and I felt like only one cylinder was firing (yes, still enough horses to run on one cylinder!).
This was confirmed when I reached his house and shut down, the left (driver's side) exhaust was only hot, while the right (passenger side) was scalding.
I let it sit for a bit, but it would not start at all when it was cooled down completely.
It turns over.
I checked for spark from both plugs and confirmed spark.
I checked for fuel pressure at the Schrader valve on the fuel line with a tire gauge and it maxed out at 50 psi.
I had it towed home (flat bed).
I have since checked the timing belt - solid, no miscellaneous bits.
I hooked up a laptop using the S&S Pro Tune II v4.0, and the only error codes are P0170 Front Adaptive Maxed Out and P0173 Rear Adaptive Maxed Out.
When the key is turned on, fuel pump whines. I have not removed or checked the fuel filter.
I am not sure where to go from here? How do I verify fuel is getting in the cylinders or check the EFI?
ANY and all ideas or help are appreciated!
Oh! on a side note, the left rear signal light works sometimes, and sometimes it does not. Also, If the headlights are on when I turn off the motor, the left front headlight will stay on, but at half the brightness of normal. Is this normal? Connected? one of the endearing oddities of owning a Morgan?
Thanks!
