So by the time I got in touch with the Service Advisor to arrange having the
car towed to my independent mechanic they were already in the midst of
replacing the sensor. The SA again swore up and down that there was no other way
to change it.
So right before I am about to head home from work the SA calls to tell me
that it still will not start. He says it has no spark. He said that the coils
checked out OK. He also said that they checked the compression and it came
up only 35-70 lbs in each cylinder. He did say that the fluids looked clean
and the (straight) valves and camshaft look almost new so they do not
understand why so low. Car just turned 82k miles and was running strong.
WTF? Did they put the belt on wrong? Note that car died about 5 mins after
going at it hard with a STI on the local parkway. Car did not die all of a
sudden but check engine light came on and I felt a loss of power and car
completely died after limping about another mile. Once car cooled down I still
could not start it.
