dizzy cap?

plugs are new and have been great since put in...

any ideas?

cheers adam

Fuel pump still alive?

Is it missing at all prior to cutting out? That discription could mean 1001 probs!

**Rob** · 27-10-2006 21:27

Coil?

Ignition amplifier (not sure if they have one?)

AFM fault?

**Adam** · 27-10-2006 21:31

fuel pump relay??? no miss fires it just cuts out ....... doubt its icv as it doesnt do this when car is hot etc ...

where is fuel pump relay? by outtank pump next to the fuel tank?

ta

hmm coil...? if coil goes will it act like when dizzy is at fault ? where it slowly dies kinda thing? like a wet dizzy cap...?

p.s. no fault codes so no managment light etc...and yes bulb works! lol

hmm maybe earth strap on f28 box??

Coolant temp sensor or whatever it is? The one by the inlet?

well when my cts code was on with ecu..i never had cut outs

he had a new tps a month or so ago... hmm

**daveb948576** · 27-10-2006 22:09

sometimes the cts can go completely faulty and give out a reading of about -43 degrees but sometimes it can give just a reading thats slightly odd for the engines temperature and make it run funny and cut out.

sounds like its the fuel pump relay..car just cut out up the road from house and he's noticing the fuel pump turning off a sec before car cuts out!

**Scoobler** · 28-10-2006 08:04

I would go with fuel pump relay to start with - a CTS tends not to cut the engine, it will make it run lean to rich but shouldn't give enough of a reading to shut down the engine.

You could try bridging the relay, joining the two biggest wires, so the pump is constantly running see if the fault goes away. It could be a imobiliser fault if the car has one, cutting the fuel pump relay out?

**Tathan** · 28-10-2006 10:22

fuel pump relay is sometimes in the black box under the bonnet. Swap it for yours and see what happens?

Or when it cuts out, run round and press the schrader valve but don't blame me if you're engulfed by a 6 foot flame.

**Nobbie** · 28-10-2006 10:48

Yeah, fuel pump relay, small black rectangular box, normally near the passenger side suspension turret, or next to the ecu in the footwell, iirc.

**Adam** · 28-10-2006 18:37

it was the fuel pump relay as a mate thought

sorted! result and ta for all ur feedback
