[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 402179, member: 3278"] Since you only have a matter of seconds (usually) when an impeller failure occurs....you did overheat your engine so lets start there. Either that or you need to elaborate how you were incredibly lucky to catch it at the exact time it went out. The timing will not change between cold and hot so you can forget about that theory. Since the engine was probably overheated the place to start is with a compression check. This is assuming that the engine ran normally and started both cold and hot before the overheat. From what you wrote I did not see anything written that would support that it did not. Or...if you wait long enough someone is bound to come along and tell you to run a can of seafoam through it........... :roll: [/QUOTE]
