Hi folks,
Driving to work this morning and the engine just gave out after a spirited bit of driving and dropping down a gear or two, car was reving high and then suddenly I had this horrible sound like a old tractor and lights on the dash.
All coil pack have been checked and plugs although a bit black seem ok and the fuel is flowing through the injectors ok, trying to restart the car causes backfire and black smoke out of the exhaust, the fault codes flagged up misfire on all cylinders, car has now been recovered to a garage pending investigation, does this sound like an engine fail or is it maybe just that I have somehow stretched the chain through hard driving, I sort of hope it’s the latter.
Thanks for reading
