My 80 series just had a fire erupt under bonnet. Any common possibilties as to why?
Right before my son drove 3.5 hours back to college, I replaced the brittle pastic heat control valve. Right about the time he gets to his destination he says the CEL begins blinking and engine sputters like a bad plug wire, which he is familiar. Then in rather quick order the steering gets difficult and the brakes begin going out. He pulls in a parking lot, gets out and sees smoke and fire on under hood on driver's side. Firemen put it out and tow it.
What on earth could have caused that? Any thoughts are appreciated.
