2 nights ago, I was driving the VR-4 by some dealerships, (MN-61), and the car lost power going about 50 MPH. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif Anyhow, I had it towed over to my buddies' shop to work on it there. I think I'm officially a part of the trailer club. Hopefully the old girl will be alright after a few nights of work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Define "Lost Power" replicant 55117.

Steve lost a belt on 524 about 200 yards from my house due to a hand tight bolt on the tensioner arm. I will not go into the details since it involves someone around here who I hear has just barely paid his dues for his lack of attention to detail.

Replicant 55117 reports that the automated vehicle suddenly experienced a drop in acceleration which lead to the said vehicle ceasing to move.

Replicant 55117, The symptoms described are analogous of the previously mentioned Timing Belt failure event. One would recommend a thorough diagnostic be completed to substantiate this hypothesis.

My brother owned it before me, then a Russian guy, and then a old lady.

The front windshield is not tinted, it's just the lighting from my camera.

UPDATE - Car runs! Blown relay (can't remember which one) and a damaged CAS wire!

I am (and you probably are as well I'm sure) happy it wasn't a timing belt.
