Hey guys,
I was just on the way home in "Shikoku" ('95 GenII 3.5L DOHC) and am now roadside trying to decipher what's going on.
I drove a total of about 15 miles to destination win no problems. Upon return I made it about 5 miles. I turned the A/C on and off a couple times cause it's kinda warm but not that warm. Maybe the third time that I did so I was stopped at a traffic light and instantly Shikoku went into a very rough, bouncing idle. The engine was unresponsive to the gas pedal and after 8-10 seconds it died.
After a few moments I was able to restart and idly cruise to a gas station. Seemed 100% fine until I rolled to the gas pump and did the exact same thing this time without any instigation from the A/C unit.
Now refuses to start at all. I'm letting it cool down at the moment. Have had zero problems since I swapped the alternator last fall sometime and the only recent thing I can think of was a coolant flush I performed last weekend. I recklessly spilled a lot of 50/50 when removing the thermostat. Definitely soaked my belt assembly but didn't appear to get into the alternator much.
Currently, oil levels good, no milk. Coolant level seems to be good though my flush last weekend did strangely result in less coolant going into the system than the ~10qt capacity. Temperature gauge is reading normal. I have an OBDII scanner on the vehicle but can't get a code read out for some reason.
Any ideas?
