Re: this is a new one
It happend to me yesterday. I was on the highway, but the ****** won't start after shut off. 135$ to get it towed for 2km :1
I thought it was the main relay, but I hear the 3 clicks it should do. I thought it was the fuel pump, but I get pressure from the fuel filter. I have to check for the spark, I was alone and it's hard to crank and see the spark...
I was in traffic and I didn't noticed the engine stoped since I was at low rpm. I took out my ostrich to see if the battery are gone.
30 secondes before the engine shut off I said to myself "The engine run pretty well today, ------- smooth" then it stoped....
I'll throw it in the garbage...

Re: this is a new one
i doubt its the main relay. i just spent 60 bucks on a brand new one instead of ------- with old ones. but it never did it before i put that in so i guess its plausible. i guess i wont really know till i replace the distributor
would it just cut out for a few seconds and then come back on? can i just buy a new ignitor? or do i have to get a whole new dizzy
