Have now removed plugs (black and severely fouled as you predicted, cleaned them, cranked the engine with fuel pump disconnected, put plugs back in and started the car again.

Running a little better, however it is blowing heaps of white smoke (was black after running with AFM disconnected). Doesn't seem to be any water in the oil, although the coolant is brown (not sure if it has been this colour for a while tho) and also, the coolant level seems to have dropped slightly since a week or so ago.

Car still doesn't idle properly, and is not at all responsive.

No error codes are coming up.

What would be your next step? Im thinking a compression check is a cheap and easy way to see whether there could be issues with the head/head gasket - as these symptoms could be explained by a cracked head or blown gasket - lack in power, not idling, smokey, water loss.

Is there anyone in Brisbane that knows the GT4 well? southside if possible.

thanks mate

pete
