Honestly I thought he was a dentist for a couple of years

That’s a real shame.
Good to narrow it down but a bummer when it turns out to be the complicated expensive bit.

Has it ‘lost’ the map?

Updates required. We are invested in this now!
You’ve been on it for hours… or have you sacked it off and gone to the pub…

Can you split a case without removing the pistons? Will the case move pass the stuck piston? Sent from my 22011119UY using Tapatalk Yes, but at this point you can pull the circlips out, knock the gudgeon pins through and pull them off. Possibly. The crank's at 90 degrees so some are alongside each ...

You’ve come this far. Finish the job

In for a penny…

All these years I’ve been getting my filings done by him.

It’s all a lie!

I’ve resisted for a while but I think we are at this point:

If not clearly misfiring then it still had at least some spark and some fuel. Spark tends to be binary rather than partial failure, so a whole engine power reduction I’d definitely call fuel supply out first. Unless of course your floor mat is under the throttle pedal or the linkage is about to drop...

Collapsing fuel line maybe? Stopping just lets it recover long enough to get something through then goes again.

Is it misfiring or just losing power?

What engine/fuel/ignition system? Your MFI 2.7?

…but with all the cranking I’ve done i think I’d expect to smell a bit of fuel, so that avenue seems worth investigating 100%. You’ve proven spark. Only one other ingredient needed! (Except air!) I’d imagine if the temp sensor wasn’t working you get the wrong mixture, i.e leaner than you’d ideally ...

What does the immobiliser immobilise?

Just throwing ideas out there…

What actually makes the spark on your car? I know you have the CANEM ecu for the fuel but where does the spark come from?

On my car there is a separate feed to the CDI box that powers it whilst cranking from the ‘start’ position of the key, then it switches to the always on in the ‘run’ position. It manifested itself as it would cough as you backed the key from start, but not long enough to actually start it. Could the...
