G'day everyone. I've got a problem with my 6 cylinder VS.
At Christmas time I degreased my engine and hosed it down, started the engine, revved it a couple of times, and the belt came off. I put the belt back on and now the engine stutters when I start off. Once I get over 60 it drives fine. Acceleration is rough, either gentle or hard at speeds less than 60. Have I wrecked a sensor or something? I can't see any problems.
The last couple of times I started it, it sounded like it did a quiet backfire. The last time I started it from cold it almost flattened the battery.
Any ideas? I live in a fairly remote area, the nearest mechanic is 80 km away...
