spadam 7 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 calico no it wasnt cold i never go above 3k when cold allways let oil get to 70. Yea i no im just wondering if there are any sensors that could cause this. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just remembered just as engine lost power and just before it turned off i put my foot to the floor again and it sounded like it was missfiring very faint noise. Hard to describe really. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Terminal 30 is positive terminal on your battery, check it's tight, may be worth a new battery and check the alternator is kicking out enough power as it may be faulty, also check the aux belt condition just incase Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Aux belt should be fine as it was replaced yesterday. Il check terminals tomorow then. If alternator wasnt kicking out enough power would this cause these problems. il try and borrow an voltage meter of someone this week. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 If your alternator isn't working properly it's not charging the battery to power the electrical gear, like the ECU.The ECU will need a certain amount of power, if it doesn't get it it will just shut off. Many other things will still work thoughcheck the cables and connection from the alternator aswell, it may have a loose earth Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 ok il check all this tomorow after work. how can i test the alternator using a volt meter then. I no the battery should show around 12v if healthy on the volt meter Link to post Share on other sites

spadam 7 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ok il check it tomoz was pretty sure that was how you tested it but cudnt remeber amount of voltage that need to be showing. cheers Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Think i may have found the problem. Both times this has happened i have been really low on fuel. Now yesterday when it happened i was coming out of a sharp bend and put my foot down in second so im thinking the fuel may have gone to other side of fuel tank and therefore cut out. Does this sound at all possible. Checked battery conections and all were ok. Check earth for alternator and all seemed ok still need to get a voltmeter on battery and alternator. I drove it tonight and put my foot down through bends etc and all was fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 aye mine splutters if its low on fuel and you take a right hand bend too hard, or boot it away from a junction - shat meself the first time it did it, also seems to drive better with a full-ish tank.The extra weight even seems to even-out the engine mass. Now for more power..... Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yea its been fine since maybe il jst have to keep it topped up rather then run it down low. Link to post Share on other sites
