Not driven for 10 dayys now runs REAL rough. What to check first???

[eekthecat]

Hi,

Left myy v7 sti parked up in the carport for 10 days while I was overseas. Got back, went to start it and it runs REAL rough. ???

Feels like a misfire or something. When I give it some gas it wont rev more than 4,000rpm. Boost goes to 0psi and nothing more.

Thought maybe some moisture got in somewhere but not really sure where to start the troubleshooting.

Cant really be driven in its current state and dont want to call a mobile mechanic in...

Any help would be much appreciated

Any smoke when trying to boost?

is there a chance someone was driving it while you were away?

if not I would get some upper cylinder cleaner and just drive it

Sh#t! popped the bonnet and correct me if Im wrong but it looks like Ive lost a belt.

[Guest]

That could be your problem

[eekthecat]

can anyone tell me what belt that was...? :'(

[Drunkenmonkey]

thats your air con belt

[Stoffa]

pick all the bits of the snapped belt out, (make sure theres none of it caught in the other belt) then try running it. A/C belt only drive the A/C so no drama with it completely missing

pretty random that it snapped.

sure no one has driven it? seems very strange

[eekthecat]

no way it was driven. locked, immobilized and I had the keys with me at all times.

thats strange, a broken belt shouldnt cause that a
