Hey, I was running up a merge ramp onto the highway at about 4500 rpm in fourth and all of a sudden, the blow off valve popped, I lost all power, and pulled over to the side of the road. By that time, the engine had died. CEL, oil, and battery lights are all on. I took a look, and there's no fluid leakage, tried starting it again and it'll turn over, I can keep it alive for a few seconds by revving it, but at constant throttle position the engine will die.
I'm almost certain it's a vacuum leak and that I popped a hose off somewhere, but I couldn't find it in the cold and the dark. Any second opinions? Any common culprits for hoses?
I left it by the side of the highway, I hope it doesn't get hit by some drunk tonight. So any MEC folks that see a black MSP on 70E right after RT32, that's me. Going to try and fix it tomorrow once it gets light.
