Car keeps stopping..

[CloVis]

Driving at 70 my car will just cut out, and the same whilst im going slow.
Even in multistorey car parks (was going down a ramp and it died, leaving me to suddenly ontrol the car round a corner with no abs) Dodgy!!

Anyone know what the orange light is that looks like a hook? cos thats what keeps flashing.
Thanks

Check your manual... But I would assume you are refering to the engine management light. You will need a diagnostics done on this straight away, as having the engine cut out at high speed is extremely dangerous!

Could be your throttle sensor.. I had this problem, it would just drop revs and cut out while im driving

isnt the orange light tht looks like a hook referring to oil level light?

I spoke to the bloke that does all my mot's and he reckons it'l cost £200 to plug it in the engine management system!!!!!!!

Ye £200 is what to expect... I paid £180, but luckily was under warranty :y:

A meate of mine had the same problem. have u got an induction kit on ? sometimes the induction kit is too close to the battery, and when the car shaked the filter hits the batter shorting the car and turning the engine off.

my bros mate does car checks ecus and all electrical stuff he plugs in wiv the machine his got and he normally charges about 80 pounds max for full checks

£80 quid is expensive never mind £200 what the hell

My diagnostics test costed £35 plus VAT :)

Take a look :)

£200 that is ridiculous

Yeah but i think the £200 was aswell as fixing, And no my car is pretty standard...

Defo your engine management clovis.

Get this checked asap as the car will keep running until the engine cannot run anymore, the ecu raises its leniancy everytime the car cuts out until the engine goes.

If the price includes fixing then it sounds alrightish. Depends how much you trust the garage/dude/lass.
