Did you fix the X16XE or just dump it for a replacement engine? Mines doing similar (X14XE) but if you hold the accelerator for a few seconds it gains momentum again. Just about to check the following ECU Codes which I got after the paper clip test. | |

You were driving about for an hour with it at 100 degrees and you wonder why it broke :o It will be the head gasket and a warped head. | |

what colour was the smoke? white would indicate steam/water evaporation, black would suggest something has caught fire or oil... | |
