friday, 100m from home the pickup went dead, replace cap, rotor and plug wire-no dice...struggled all day saturday thinking i didnt hav spark when i had, a blown EFI fuse caused that distress. on sunday , went to church, no prob, i desided to do some off-roading in the afternoon only to find out one of my friends crashed in a ravine, SHIIT!!, off-roading put on a side i decided to bring the injured to the hospital, about a mile down , click, dead,EFI fuse gone with 3 guys bloody and suffering on the vehicle.put a thick wire inplace of fuse since i didnt hav none.the guys went hospital on another vehicle and i went to my mechanic to ask him some questions, funny to find my oil filter loose..tightened it and timing chain starts bawling...made noise for about 5 min then stoped...my girlfriend prayed and i said AMEN!!, then on to do some offroading...while climbing a very steep hill in "4L mode" timing chain starts bawling again, i'm accustomed to climbing this hill in "HL mode"- but i was very slow to keep compresion down....but this didnt wrk ... a huge ball of blue smoke rose from under the hood and check engine light came on, i said "NO MAN, NO , NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE"..... then the vehicle cut off.It wont keep idleing unless i keep my foot on the gas and wont go foward unless i pressed the gas flat down....

possibly the timing chain jumped? check your compression on all four cylinders. then check your ignition timing but dont adjust it if it is more than 2-3degrees out. Find out where the blue smoke under the hood came from, blue means oil.
Good luck and let us know how it is going
