Hi there,

I have a problem with my car. when i am driving my engines stops (no matter how fast i drive) then i cant start the engine, when i wait for like 7-8 minutes i can start again. this happands on a regular base when i drive, what can it be?? i replaced the sensors and a few fuses. and still the problem is there. anyone any idea??

 

Which sensors have you replaced?

Do you have a check engine light? If you do, you should have it checked. If you don't you should have it checked because the bulb may have blown out.

This sounds like a problem which would leave a trouble code. You really need a OBD-II trouble code to get any good ideas.

Most common would be crank position sensor or fuel pump.

 

Crank position sensor/dpm sensor is replaced and the fuel pomp is checked indeed.

 

Trouble codes?

Here in the states Autozone or Advanced, or pep-boys will read codes for free so that they can sell you parts. I don't know what larger parts stores you have in The Netherlands.

 

Not much, over here, but is it possible to read a trouble code. because i start the engine and start driving, notting happend, its only possible to read the trouble code when the engine stops, isn't it??

 

A trouble code should be read with the engine running. It is stored by the ECU as soon as the trouble code is realized by the ECU. It is possible to read the code with the engine off.

 

oke, thanx, i will look for someone who can do that for me, keep u updated!!

i know you need to get this taken care of...and this maybe a bit off topic...but you should get with Jay-M and get his scantool...

i got the usb scantool and love it

 

lol, i just talked to him a few hours before now.. i was interested, but he need some info from the car, but the car isn't here for a while.. so , but thanx for the advice anyway fing02.gif cool.gif

 

odd. Those scan tools are plug-n-play. The car shouldn't matter unless you have an early model tib with a non-OBD compliant ECU. You should get one of them. Get the multi-protocol USB model.
