im assuming that u got a sudden leak of oil which dropped the oil pressure giving the ecu a signal to cut ignition…did u see the red oil pressure light flas in ure cluster? do u see any damage to the motor from the outside? post up pics and ill try help.

Are you saying you pulled the spark plug and there were parts of it missing?? On how many plugs?

If infact you have bits of a spark plug missing, I would assume you toasted a piston or valve somehow. My friend ran lean, melted his spark plug and had oil everywhere underneath the hood. He also had a hole in a piston.

Give us some more details, hows the oil look, does the engine turn over, compression test?

way to capticalize you prick 😛

Anyways, try to get some pictures up and some more details…like what did it sound like when it shut off? were you in gear for long? did you notice any screaching or grinding when the motor shut off and you were coasting?

stuff like that.

wait. first you said it shut off THEN you pulled over. now you’re saying it shut off when you stopped?!?

and you opened the spark plugs?

to me it sounds like you said that half of each spark plug is missing?!?

man you gotta type a little better for people to understand whats going on.

there could be lots of things wrong with your engine. i couldn’t tell you what it is cause i don’t know. if anything it sounds like you had the boost up too high and did something to the pistons. maybe not. i don’t understand what exactly happened.

yeah man type properly, we speak english here, not half-ass fob english, its cool if you talk like that when u chill, but if you want to explain a problem, put some effort into explaining it clearly and stop wasting our time by giving us bits of unclear incorrect information, how did the spark plugs break in half ? did they snap off and the rest are still in the block or are the tips just burned out ? as others asked, was there noise ? what did you do ? unless you tell us exactly what happened we cannot help you

Dude ease up, english could be his second language for all you know. I agree he needs to do a better job explaining it but not everyone here is an english major.
