I previously asked about swapping my ECU to troubleshoot a intermittent stalling issued (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=347323&hl=). I've been working on trying to pin this down, but no luck so far.
The current behavior is that the engine will suddenly shut off. If I'm driving down the road (in gear with clutch disengaged), it will often start back up on it's own. If I'm coasting down a street to come to a stop (clutch engaged) the oil& generator lights will come on, but if I let the clutch out the engine will restart. What I've done so far: Cleaned every contact on relay board and all relays with Dremel wire wheel Replaced coil, pertronix and rotor Replaced cylinder head temp sender (and swapped out 300 ohm resistor) Ensured that injector points connector is secure on the distributor Re-crimped connectors on 4 wires that connect to the positive terminal of the battery The problem can occur after running fine for an hour or within minutes of starting a test drive. It doesn't match up with any event like hitting a bump and doesn't seem temperature related. I've previously checked the fuel pump electrical connections (my pump has been relocated to the front). I have a spare ECU that I'm going to try tomorrow, but I figured it was worth asking if anyone has any other things to look at. I'm leaving for Red Rocks Classic on Thursday and would really love to know I can trust this car. |

When the problem occurs, does the tachometer drop instantly to zero?
If it does, you likely have an ignition problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
