[whosup]

hi
i have a vtss 5.0 engine and after about 10min it starts looseing power and gets worse over the next 5 min then start to back fire then wont go at all, when it cools down it starts and does the same thing all over again any help would be great thanks

unplug coolant temp sensor when it starts playing up it will have reduced power but keep running
this is the first thing i would check...

if this does no thelp fault
it sobviously temp related
time to check coolant for oil and oil for coolant...

if no milk found
get codes checked to see if any stored like
"fuel pump relief circuit" or "engine overheat warning" or what ever and post it up

checked the coolant and oil it seems fine so ill check the temp sensor tomorrow

too easy ill jump on here tomorow night and have a looksie~!

coil getting hot/failing, ignition module failing or dizzy hall effect sensor dieing would be my first guesses

 

[db_notso]

these are also possible and worth a check next (i agree with ya!)
