TorAtle Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 (also posted to the sevens list) My car has developed a nasty habit. It starts and runs fine the first 10 minutes until properly warmed up. Some symptoms: * While driving there is a short loss of power, a hiccup if you like. * Sometimes the engine just dies like that *snap*. Turn the key off & on (rolling on the motorway) and it's all normal for a while, other times it just dies again. * Turning on the power with the key I've once heard relay-clicking and also seen the gearshift light go on and off like mad. A temperature related short? Tor Atle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 It sounds as though it's a faulty relay (esp. since keying off & back on again immediately sort it out). Or it could be the ignition switch I suppose. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I had a similar thing but it was related to the immobilisor/wiring loom. A slight bit of movement and the car would die and then off/on with the key sorted it. The problem is still there, but with a cable tie pulling the loom into a 'safe' position it all works!I guessed it was the loom moving through vibration etc. Maybe.......... ?
