hi its me again

i seem to have a problem with my vts this morning when driving to work my car just died at the lights and i came to a stand still no power at all and the engine just seemed to shut its self off.all the dash lights stayed on along with side lights and hazards. anyway after checking the temp and having looked for a wire that might have come off i got back in the car turned the key and she fired up (running a bit ruff mind) got to work in the end but its really concerning me that there may be a electric fault or something. anyone had the same problem? or does it look like a plug in computer job to find the cure. dam think

oh one other thing i did change the spark plugs the other day and double check they are the correct type. was thinking of calling the rac after i finish work to see if they might be able to fix it smileys/smiley19.gif

I think when i had problems like that with mine it was something to do with the manifold and too much air getting in - or something like that anyway

coilpack mate, sounds like shes misfiring.

when you got her going again did the engine vibrate the whole car? engine management light comes on and off?

hey its me

ok got some news on my cut out problem. had the rac out and they couldnt find a dam thing wrong with it. anyway since it happened it hasnt cut out again touch wood.

anyway when i set off for work i adjusted my drivers seat to acomm my long ass legs which after thinking about it i might of knocked my key when changing gear which would have caused my power loss. thats all i can put it down to at the mo. dont think they thought about tall people when designing the sax lol smileys/smiley16.gif
