Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - 2.4 Turbo - blown engine [rumor, non-substantiated]

i assume "erin" is from hahn.... either way seems a hahn rep could comment here...lets hear their perspective
. looked for the injector post ?,,,,, i'm assuming a failed injector could be catastrophic ?..... in any event there was a problem if it was "reflashed " and obviously that didn;t cure it......... at this point .... systematic teardown and examination will prolly shed some light
no sense beating a dead horse but if there is something to learn

- thats what i'm looking for

we all know don't drive if you KNOW it has knock ...but thats not saying you'd even sense impending doom in all circumstances... the ecm was sent back in for "detonation " problems........ a more conservative tune would not have remedied a failing injector ??
theres no need to be soooooo defensive on either side.......some intense scrutiny of what the actual issue was ????

and that might evolve into better trouble shooting skills for all of us

i wanna hear the good ,bad and the ugly...... lol.. the facts ........ i'm very interested as many others as to what went wrong........
