OK a brain teaser i guess The Story I take a run for about 6 Hrs just fine On the return trip I feel like engine looses power 2-3 times for a moment I think it is just my foot slip on the petal... The Climax 1 Hrs from home it looses all power / & wont start but will crank over The Intrigue Not a lot tools with me & no meter :( I get partner to turn on but not start the fuel pumps buzz's the way it quit no splutter just 1 sec power the next nothing it feels like a electronic/ignition issue, I go looking for engine grounds corroded terminals broke wires dont spot anything.. so i have spare ecu/coil try those nope ... I mess around for about 1 hrs long enuff i figure for any heat related issue to back off The Punch Line Still no start, so I have an you can eat BCAA membership (5 x160Km, & 2 x320KM ) tows a years... I make the call they arrive 30 mins later, I try 1 more time no go so we jack it up on the truck & tow the 80KM home, I give it another hail mary try on the truck at home that SOB starts & has started on the hour for the last 2 hrs !*^&!@%(*^!@%^*&!@ OK what do i do here other background 85 1.9 Digijet -no recent work in last 30 days -temp2, cap, rotor, o/2, 2 relay(fuel/?? in the back box) plugs./wires all new -engine grounds clean & new spades on -new afm 3 years ago -rebuilt injectors 6 mths ago -cant be coil or ecu since when it was dead i swaped spares in The irrelevent details -new alternator, starter motor in last 6 mths so wtf am i left with ?? -bad relay / wiring ?? ignition control module ??, dist/hall sender ?? -fuel injection ?? ps I just did 15K KM with no issue this summer :)
