Hi All. Great site here!
I've searched for info on my problem here and not found much useful, hence this post:
I've a Series 1 VT V6, 300K kms, auto, well maintained and serviced. Driven spiritedly
The other day a twat ran me off the freeway into the middle stop lane. I had to floor it to get back to the speed limit on a blind 100kmh corner.
Engine may have revved to/over 4,000 breifly, oil is not low.
After this it drove fine and stopped and started as normal.
Later in the day it stopped driving fine and idles very very badly and won't rev. There is a 'tinking' noise in the top of the motor.
I've recently done the Crank Angle Sensor and the coils and fuel systems, plugs and leads are tested and fine.
I did drive a few weeks with a dodgey spark lead on Number 4........
My mechanic has tested the compression on all cylinders and all are good except Number 4, which has ZERO compression.
Before I call the wrecker, is there anything simple I've missed, or is it likely as fecked as it sounds?
