st185 cut out

Post by dzk »

Just got back today from chequered flag making 143kw on 11psi

Coming up a small hill going the speed limit and the car just starts to lose power. Foot flat on the gas but nothing whilst it dies. Dash lights still on. No engine check light. Tried to jump start and car cranks but won't start.

Any ideas?

Confused.

Was driving in a 70k zone, had the car fixed due to other issues. Nothing has been upgraded or changed. Car was driving fine and then no more acceleration.

Got half a tank of gas, which fuse would I check? Got power as stereo,lights go fine.

Coil plug to dizzy had popped out. Thats why it wasn't turning over. Must not have been on properly and waiting to fall out.

Thanks anyway.
