On Friday I was attending my first track event at the Portland international raceway, intent on establishing British dominance once and for all.
And how dominance was established! Once I figured out the basic lines and started honing my brake points, lesser automotive beings were dispatched at a rapid pace. The checkered flag fell as ovulating women were exposing their breasts for me on the ledgers.
All for naught. Halfway through the cool down lap the engine died.
In utter humiliation I was towed back to the pits while now menstruating women hurled used feminine products on me, turning a glorious event into just another daily experience.
Fault search is in progress. Here is the rundown, so far:
No error codes apart from barometric air pressure giving an incorrect signal.
Battery good.
Crank sensor ok - RPM registers during crank.
Cam sensor has been disconnected forever, so 360 mode.
Injectors fire - I took them out and sprayed the garage for a bit.
Ignition relay clicks.
No spark - I've checked all plugs (coil on plug), and they are dead.
While fault searching, I did find a loose ground strap that I tightened down. This means that while the ECU was grounded through its own wire, the engine and chassis did had a flaky ground connection when the car died.
I've just emailed Giles to ask if the ignition driver could have been damaged by the lack of chassis ground?"
