popped an intercooler hose?

Might have blown the turbo.. check your pipes and see if they are full of oil

Fuel pump or fuel lines. No fuel = no go!!!

Warning lights on, brakes and power steering is only from the engine not running. They all need motor running to work properly.

check coilpacks and vacume hoses

hey jason,

check your intercooler pipes most likely a hose has come loose and the car is running mega rich because no air is getting into the engine

I put my hard earned on cooler a cooler pipe as well.

I 10th the cooler pipe.

3psi?

[Cubes]

it started by then it would just turn off.... and it keep doing it.... it also is blowing out black smoke...

There's ignition, there's fuel.... Blowing black smoke indicates a gross inlet leak.

I ignored the 3psi fact after I read ----

power steering failed and my brakes wouldn't work

black smoke = plenty of fuel.

when my cooler pipe came off i was still able to drive for another few hundred meters until i could find a place to pull over.

but the symptoms are there for a cooler pipe. "it started by then it would just turn off.... and it keep doing it.... it also is blowing out black smoke..."

When it happened in mine after I put my front mount on the car puffed out a big cloud of black smoke and struggled to idle. It gave me a scare as it had never happened to me before. Popped the bonnet and found the hot pipe had come off.

and then when the pipe is put back on, just hope that the plugs aren't fouled!

that's what happened when i blew off a cooler pipe.. had to change the plugs to get it to run again... (they were due for a change anyway and i had them there to change that week)

I've had mine let go.. I think its let go on every one who works on their car some time or another.

I was in a rush to take the car for a spin with the new turbo on it.

Completely forgot to do up the ic pipe to cross over hose clamp. Started to accelerate lightly, it may have hit 5-7psi or so and BANG!!! nothing, no acceleration. I dipped the clutch the car lumped over for a sec and died.

Tried to start the car; it would start then stall, wouldn't even idle.

Popped the bonnet and saw the ic pipe sitting half in the rubber half out.
