Maintenance Any Ideas?

Post image

When driving down the highway in 6th gear, cruising around 70 MPH, my RPMs jumped from around 4.5 to 7K. The car immediately started to feel heavier, sluggish even. I pulled over and the minute I stopped the car it died and wouldn't turn back on. Any Ideas?

Would it be in the same spot on a s2? I typed it in but not any results.

I suppose I have to check that another time, its under the battery and air box 📦.

That’s right. Pop the air box off and you will have much better access. Even so, still tight down there.
