why does it all happen at once! now my engine decided to die about 2 Kms from my house about half an hour ago......it all of a sudden started running like a dog.....like on 1 and a half cylinders i pulled over.....checked leads and basic stuff....started....started ok jumpy weird accelleration and less power...then changed to second.....no acceleration just like a huge flat spot....limped down the hill to the end of my road and walked home swearing......im supposed to be at work at 4pm and i have no car to drive the volksie guy up the road is waiting for his mate so he cant leave his place till he gets there so he said to ring him at about 12pm and if his mate is there he will come have a look i hope its something stupid.....it ran fine for the hour long trip on the highway home this afternoon and now it just decides to call it quits! this engine was rebuilt only about a year ago......why does this all happen to me

did it have the big white cloud following it cause if it did youve just dropped a piston. what about the motor out of the sbug mate you still have it dont you.

hmmm must have had a whacking great clump of crap come through the fuel line.....it seems to be running ok now..( a little rough).....ill buy a new fuel filter this afternoon and we will see....not as major as it seemed.
