Help! This Car Goes Off At Will by Nobody: 2:58am On Dec 06, 2010 |
Pls I need some help with this. Lately, My car (Honda Prelude 2000) goes off suddenly while in motion, sometimes when stationary, I wouldn't really call it stalling, more like it 'dies' i.e. the power/dash-lights just go off completely. If I try to re-start immediately, it does but will just die again but Usually I can re-start after 1 to 3 try's of the ignition. This stuff has happened randomly, twice after driving for about an hour, and once even before driving out the gate. All these in the past week. The mechanic thinks it may be the fuel filter/ fuel pump but I cant afford such expensive guesses at all this christmas season. I think it may be an issue with the key/ignition contact, maybe worn or something. I remember reading sometime ago here about ignition/relay/fuses? being able to cause such wahala. Another factor that makes me think fuses is that just today, i noticed that right front-traffickator and fog lights no longer work, the rear ones work however. I have no idea how long this has been like this as i rarely drive at night. So, I want to start the DIY trouble-shooting by checking the appropriate fuses for ignition/relays/the lights but I dont know where to look If anyone has had a similar experience please share how you solved it, thanks a lot |
