Well Dasilva Motorsport came thru!! Had the P0300 code come up on the '10 GS, running like a piece of crap, pulled over shut it down, flat bedded to Dasilva's for them to figure out what was going on. Well here is a tid bit of info, if you ever have this happen to you, Service traction handling, and flashing engine light,and engine like it's just about ready to pop out of the hood, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and have the baby flatbed home. Ok after some research online, I figured it was a broken valve spring, and hoping nothing more.... yes broken valve spring, got very lucky that the valve didn't drop and wreak havoc on the inside, but what did happen, after repair was completed and still running poorly, that the intake cover was removed and this was the secondary problem. Intake valve not fully seating for the last few cranks of the motor, allowing ignition fire to blow past and into the intake!! Thus, creating a small fire within the manifold itself, luck would have it that I didn't stand att he side of the road and watched her burn!! So new spring, good deal I thought for a intake manifold, and all work done within two days, Kudos to Manny and the Team!! Cheers.
