Don't have time or tools at the moment. Pulling into lot of store down street and it sort of stumbled and then quit. Hear fuel pump going, will turn over. Pulled wires off cap and one looked sort of corroded, other 3 shiney. Same plug wire that popped off about a month ago when I made an abrupt move to avoid a cell phone zombie. It ran rough on three, so I popped it back on and has been fine ever since, wonder if it is related.
I know I have a bad plug wire, but that won't kill it Have not looked at the plugs, checked for spark or anything. Have a guy I need to do surgery on in a few hours, so I can't do much right now. Will go home after that and get the code reader and tools. I am thinking maybe bad rotor and cap, maybe even coil, probably will tell you how to check the coil in the shop manual I guess. I totally had other stuff to do today, I mean besides cutting off that guys toe after lunch, hopefully anyway, will need to call and see if we got bumped or anything.
Car has about 170K miles, replaced rotor, cap and plug wires like 100K miles ago...
It was not too hot when it died, cranks fine, can hear the fuel pump running, wouldnot start after sitting for an hour, but still cranked fine.
Went and got my parking pass for the hospital and put the code reader on it while there, no codes. Seems like if it won't start, it would throw a code.
Leetle piggy sent to path lab, now to go wrenching, nice day for it, but sort of planned on some time to work on Porsche
See, that is my P car content for this post, hook me up and I get a chance to go lay on my back under a German car instead of bent over a Japanese one...
