Basically car was working perfectly up till few months ago when lost all compression, piston rings n such, so got 2nd hand engine block to fix then after it was put in it had issues with fluctuating idling which was put down to the IACV and a bad O2 sensor.
After those were done it was good for a few days but then had the engine light come on once for no reason, mechanic couldnt figure out reason either as it went off moments b4 they came to check it out :S engine light finally came back on days later just after starting and driving for less than minute where it chugged slightly then as soon as pulled over it stalled and wouldnt start for few minutes.
Got it to mechanics place and they reckon ecu has gone into limp mode, tried replacing the ecu to no avail and that cured it for a time but replacement ecu went back into limp mode after a 5km run, and now want to try replacing the dizzy. B4 the compression was lost at start there was no trouble like this at all with car so am pretty sure most parts, except for ones proven to suck since then, are still good to my knowledge.
Any ideas? Is all of the info I can think of atm but can get more if needed 4 ppl as has been so long getting through all stupid crap with car lately :(
