The pilot reported a "loud pop" followed by a loss of engine power during takeoff climb and attempted to land on the remaining runway. The airplane came to a stop about 250 feet past the end of the runway and 200 feet left of the centerline. Examination of the airplane's engine revealed no discrepancies except for a low reading in the number 3 cylinder, during a cold compression check. The fuel, along with the fuel systems, was examined and no abnormalities were found. Someone from the fix base operator had assisted the occupants out of the aircraft and turned off all switches. He remembered the auxiliary fuel pump was on and the fuel selector was pointing to a position between the left fuel tank and the off position. The pilot could not remember if she had turned the fuel selector to the off position at the time of the accident.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
