Consumer Description

(1)EVENT WAS INSTANT WITHOUT WARNING. ROADS WERE ICE AND SNOW COVERED. (2) POPPING SOUND FROM ENGINE AND SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER CAUSING MINOR LOSS IN CONTROL. SPEED WAS APPROX 35 MPH. ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN WITH CONSTANT POPPING NOISE AFTER STOPPED. UPON PULLING OVER AND INSPECTING ENGINE I FOUND A BLOWN SPARK PLUG AND DAMAGE IGNITION COIL.

FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE IN CYLINDER HEAD THREADS CAUSED BY POOR DESIGN STANDARDS. *JB
