Well, this just started today, but my 1990 780 Turbo is having some serious issues.

On the way back from watching RiverFront Stadium implode, The engine lost all power and seemed to act as if it was not getting enough fuel, or flooding and 'bogged' down. The car would idle ok when first turned on, but when the gas was pressed, the engine would studder up to when the turbo gauge went into positive boost (the yellow bar) and then just drop. The gauge would rise depending on how hard I was pressing the gas, not the engine revs, but would never go into the turbo region. That is to say, the engine would be sputtering very hard and the turbo gauge would be rising. I was able to get the car into a nearby lot, but could not gas the engine at all, but instead drive with the car in idle. Help!

Interesting Note #1: This car just completed a 8 hr trip to and from nothern Michigan last week with absolutely no problems.

Instersting Note #2: The Turbo. It has been putting out about 0 PSI. It is not making any *alarming* noises, just a slight metal rattleing. Today my fiancee noticed a VERY large oil burning smell (hours before engine stopped).

Could it be that the turbo has seized, and is blocking engine exhaust gasses?

Bonus Question: Anyone know any good mechanics / shops in the Cincinatti Ohio area? I need to be going on another 7 hr trip in 1 week and do not have a good garage to work on this myself at.

Thanks in advance.
