Consumer Description

FIRST WE STARTED TO HEAR A TICKING SOUND FROM ENGINE. DEALER SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO EITHER WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM OR THE Y-COLLECTOR ON THE EXHAUST. THEY ADVISED TO CHANGE Y-COLLECTOR WITH SOMETHING LESS PERFORMANCE ORIENTED, SOUNDED INCORRECT SO I OBIVOUSLY DECLINED. SOON AFTER WHILE TRAVELING DOWN IN BAJA MEXICO WE WERE CLIMBING A MELLO GRADE WHEN BAMM!!! WE LOST MOST OF OUR POWER AND IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH WE WERE RIDING A LARGE LAWN MOWER WITHOUT A MUFFLER. SINCE WE WERE IN MEXICO WITH NO CELL SERVICE, WE CRAWLED ALL THE WAY HOME AFTER MIDNIGHT. UPON INSPECTION, REAR PASSANGER SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN THROUGH THE THREADS AND TOOK THE COIL WITH IT. REPLACED WITH COLD-FUSION COIL, BUT STILL SOUNDS AS THOUGH MAIN BEARINGS AREN'T GOING TO MAKE IT MUCH LONGER!!!!*AK
