Driving down an a road, at 70 mph my car suddenly cut out. Completely dead and rolled to a halt, it now won't start but still cranks over. I have checked coil pack and maf, and they both work fine. Any one have an ideas on what it could be? Thanks
It's a uk 99 turbo. With a decat and has recently been ecu tek remapped

 

Fuel pump or as recent thread ,, run out of fuel as gauge faulty

 

Pump is working okay, as I have checked. Put petrol in 5 mins before it happened and had half a tank anyway. It wasn't a cough either it just died. No coughin or grinding just died and rolled

 

Mine done this a few years ago it turned out to be the immobiliser had cut in and stopped power to the fuel pump!

 

The fuel pump is still pumping fuel as I connected a fuel line to a bottle to see and its pumping lots of fuel in

 

All dash lights still working?
Are there any connectors that could have been disturbed recently?

 

Yes they are all working the handbrake light is constantly on but the rest are working fine

 

Check plug going to the coil pack, Im guessing you have done this as you say coil pack is working. Did you check to see if you are getting a spark at the plugs?

 

Call the AA.

 

The coil pack isn't working on my car but is working on another, I believe it is the ecu

 

Call the AA.

 

I don't know I haven't checked that

 

It would, as would it's connector displaced.

Handbrake light constantly on? Isn't that telling you the brake fluid level is too low?
Could the ecu have cut it because of that?

 

The connector is on, and there's plenty of brake fluid, I believe it's soemthing to do with the ecu

 

MY 99/00 are OBD compliant.

 

I'll have a look at the sensor, and there is no codes on the dash, no morse code. And I'll have a look at the ecu

 

A new development the oil light now doesn't come on at all, not on the ignition like it used to

 

You checked all the underbonnet fuses?

 

All fuses are relays are good

 

Try the connectors to the ECU. Symptoms are weird.

 

Make sure all your earth points are clean, intact and secure.

 

Yep checked that, I believe it could be the ecu in general but unsure

 

What do the AA say?

 

Not called them as not with them

 

surely you have a mate or family member that is, would be hell of lot easier than asking internet wizards who have limited information from your descriptions

 

I've got someone coming round tomorrow, and I've asked to see if anyone has experienced the same issues

 

everyones had a broke car at some point

Good luck!

 

Yer true
Cheers

 

What was the outcombe?

 

Still waiting for a man to come round to diagnostic check it then I'll let you know
