Twice in the past week, my car has shut itself off with no warning at all (and in very bad locations, like going down the road). I will try to refire it, and it will crank but not start. I try this about three times, with the same result, cranks, but won't start. I will give it a minute, and try again, and it will fire right up and drive normally.
I have no idea where to start with this because I obviously can't diagnose a problem that isn't currently happening. It has only happened twice, and I was not in a position to finger it out when it happened. I was hoping that the car would just refire, and both times it did. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
It has to be losing something because it takes approx. one full minute of cranking (spread out over several attempts) to fire again, but then it runs fine. And I mean good. No misfires, full boost, good power, Just like nothing ever happened.
My best guess is CAS and/or CAS electrical connection. If it lost the CAS it should lose both the injector timing and ignition right?
I am hoping someone else has experienced this and can provide some input.
I do have another CAS, a black top that is untested from a junkyard car, that I can swap. I need to get a new timing light first because I "broke" mine. The only problem with doing this, that I can see, is that I won't really know if I fixed anything. The car runs fine right now. I drove it to work this morning. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
