Hi Guys
Last night (1am) i broke down on the M11. 120 miles away from home. the car was towed to the nearest garage. my brother came and picked me up.
Before i go back anybody got a clue on whats gone wrong, where to start looking
Right the car is a 2.5v6 auto on a r plate
When i parked up at stanstead, i hear a whining noise very briefly. Thought nothing of it, when i left the airport to come home. the engine felt slightly rough. like it was missing on one cylinder
Got onto the motor way, ( i had no option to push my luck and try to get it home) the car became ok, felt slightly down on power but not much.
Then all of a sudden the engine management light came on and then the engine just died. Non of the usual bang bang as if the engine was disintergrating.
When stopped, there was a smell of electrical burning, little bit of smoke. the car turned over fine but just wouldnt start back up. My personal feeling is ht leads, coil pack or distributor
Any views on here before i go 120 miles back to try and fix the dam thing
Many thanks
Chris
