Author Message   Snackbar64 Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 08:32 pm:        Hey guys my firebolt just lost power on the hwy and it sounds like a puttering box of rocks now. There's plenty of oil in the swingarm so I am hoping the engine is not blown. It wont go over 80 in 5th gear. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   Glitch Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 10:42 pm:        Not much to go by, could be anything from a dropped valve, to a spun bearing, to being over heated.   Snackbar64 Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2011 - 07:51 am:        Could a blown spark plug also cause similar symptoms?   Glitch Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2011 - 09:31 am:        Sure could, I've seen a spark plug blow completely out of the head before. Also a loose spark plug wire. Also a loose ground. The list is quite long on what it could be. Do you have the service manual? There are some pretty good diagnostic paths to check out.   Snackbar64 Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2011 - 10:21 am:        Yes I do thanks for the suggestion. My service manual is back home so I will have to check that out when I get there.
