So my roach died last night while I was near Rotterdam. I was in gear doing maybe 35mph slowing down, then it felt like it lost power, gas did nothing, pushed the clutch and it was dead. Nothing electrical shut off, and I coasted it to the Pilot truck stop. I had problems with about a week ago, it not starting on the first try, like fire, hit 1000rpm, then stall. Now all it will do is spin the starter fast. I do hear the fuel pump turn on, and yes there is gas in it. Any ideas? ---

If the car is turning over fast it sounds like your tbelt broke and the not starting a weekago is a different problem not related to this at all. Its like 2 bolts to take the timing belt cover off and then youll know if the belt broke. If so time to look for another head ---

I agree with the above, however there is a slim chance you might not have replace the head. I was lucky enough to get away clean with my EF when the belt snapped on my way down 90. ---

I actually blew the belt in my old 89 EF and didnt bend any valves either lol. So I have no way of moving the car today, they better not tow it. So pending inspection of the roach, anyone have a d16z6, or (I think) d16y8 head? ---

Hopefully I can use my dads AAA and get the car back here, or just out of there, and look. Then next order of business, who wants to fix it!?!?!

I should have thought of that, it used to lose some power randomly, so I did the plugs awhile back, and that made no real difference, but I didnt pursue it further. > [@88slowmarro"](#): > > im bettin the dist took a shit …just sayin as ya were beatin on it last time i saw ya I do not “beat” on that car.

Timing belt went is my guess too. Probably jumped a tooth the other day and gave you issues then gave up the ghost all together today. ---
