Out for a good old hard spot of driving the other night, just as I was heading back to town, rounded a sharp corner and the engine droped a cylinder. (no clatters or clanging/banging) then another. Then no go at all!
Got a tow home, checked fuel, and spark. All good. Checked all fuses and electricall conections. They seem ok too.
Thinking now it may have slipped a tooth on the cam belt..? What should the compressions be on a new engine with total seals and 800 kms on it?
Is it possible to slip a tooth and not have valve destruction? I,m hoping.

A similar thing happened to me one time i went over a rail road crossing, the engine just cut out.
It happened to be a loose connection in/near the fuse box. just check that all your fuses are secure. it took me ages to find the problem so i got angry and kicked the dash and it sorted the problem so i knew were to look.
