X-F250 182 Posted February 16, 2017 Hey fellas, took the ute for a long run today. All was good until I was 3/4 of the way home and the car was running really hot. Got under the bonnet and saw the damage, one of the heater hoses had burst at the fitting on the motor. Fair enough, luckily I had a spare hose so I chucked it in, filled the ute back up with coolant and waited 'til it cooled back down. When I went to take off again there was some super loud popping (almost like backfiring) and I had stuff all power. There wasn't any obvious sign that the dizzy was wet but that's the only thing I can think of. It's sounds almost like my FC Holden when I buggered up the plug leads.

Slow250XC 1,513 Posted February 17, 2017 Spray some wd40 around the cap and the dizzy plug for good measure, cant hurt to be safe 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,278 Posted February 17, 2017 yeah if the leads are old, they might absorb moisture also like i had with 20yr old honda link here to what i had..http://www.ozfalcon.com.au/index.php?/topic/6204-condensation-under-bonnet-wd40-or-is-there-better/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-F250 182 Posted February 23, 2017 Went and had a tinker today and discovered that one of the spark plug wires looks like it's been cut by something. Would that have been the cause? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
