Good thing you bought that 2.5 turbo wreck from John........

Just got done pulling the manifold on the engine in my 2.5 turbo, the one that #1 is not firing at all. As soon as I pulled the manifold, I hooked the remote starter up, and cranked it. #1 has loud puffs of smoke coming out, the rest do not have anything. Pulled the glow plug, its broken off at about half way. Not a good sign. Check compression, its right at 100lbs. The guy who had it did say it started doing this right after he had the glow plugs changed. Seems to me like whoever did the change broke #1 off and it the rattled around in there and damaged something. Seem logical? In any case, Im heading back out now to yank the engine out. -- Kaleb C.
