Hi all, I just had an episode where I was driving along in the cue (school pick up) where the XR8 just cut out and lost all power, nothing.
I pushed it out of the cue and sat for a moment (5 mins) and tried to start again and it started and off we went home. Now just prior to this I started the car and drove the 2k's to my children's school but upon starting the car fluffed and coughed a little as if a flooded engine but I just took it as it had been sitting all day and was cold and just had a moment. Anyway it drove ok to the school which is only a short distance, parked it up and went to get the kids, we all jumped in and joined the cue to exit the school and then while driving at walking pace, it just died !!!. Lost everything, no instrumentation etc, so this suggest something electrical perhaps ?. I have been chasing a niggling miss in the car which I found (leads) and have since replaced and all has been good, but now this little incident. Would coil packs do this sort of thing, as I have had cars before where the ignition module has been the problem and what happened was a very similar incident ?. Anyway does anyone have any suggestions ?. Cheers. |
