Default My cossie may not be dead after all.

Some may remember I thought the bottom end had gone about a year ago. I was giving it some stick when the power dropped right off, terrible vibration and noise and oil pressure dropped to nothing on the gauge. I turned off, towed it home, stuck it in the garage and basically forgot about it as it was just a weekend toy.

At the time a few people said it won't be the bottom end and it sounds electrical. Well after a year of it sitting in the garage I tried turning it over on the starter with the plugs out and it made good oil pressure. I've since started it and it runs and oil pressure seems okay. It's running really rough and only on two cylinders by the sounds of it.

I now think it must have dropped to 2 causing the massive loss of power and vibration and the oil gauge reading zero must have been an electrical problem.

All main fuses seem fine and I'm about to check the auxiliary fuses. Does this sound like it could be a fuse problem? The cooling fans aren't working and my ecu diagnostic light isn't working which both worked before it threw it's wobbler.

Any suggestions?

Cheers.
