Think you got a started on Friday, finished on long weekend Tuesday truck with all your problems. I'd say to look into the lemon law that some of you have in the states.

Its probably no big deal. With the "coil on plug" design and two plugs, most likely a coil or electrical issue.

Whenever you start building a new/updated engine there are bound to be issues, but when you pair that with a new assembly line and new workers, there are bound to be even more problems. Had it been built on the same line as before by the same people, there would likely be less issues.
