MikeW Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Posted the other night about my car cutting out. Checked all the electrics and fitted a washer to the battery masterswitch as suggested by Caterham (Midlands) to ensure a good contact. Anyway, went out tonight and car was running fine for about 10 miles. Came off a dual carriage and round a tight bend and the car just died. This time it wouldn't restart and ended up having to trailer home. All of the electrics are working, ignition light on and the engine is turning but it won't fire. Will phone Caterham tomorrow but anybody have any ideas. I'm at Oulton next Wednesday so need to get it sorted ASAP Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Mike, What a bummer. Have you pressed the little cutout switch on the bulkhead, stops fuel in the event of an accident I think. Failing that it could be an electical problem, dry contact, or a prob. with the immobilizer or the wiring loom connections. I had the same symtoms with my loom when the car was new, it had to go back to Caterham to be sorted in the end. It meant having to leave it at home and take the tintop to Le Mans then. Best of luck.
