check all the wires in and around the back of the ignition switch and leading down to where the switch plugs into the main loom.

my ED had a problem exactly like that. just be driving down the road and would cut out as if you turned it off. all lights and that would be on though.

found a dodgy connection in the power wire where the switch harness joins the main loom. zip tied the connecter tight together and havent had a problem since, that was about 2 years ago.

Whats your fuel pressure like? I know you tested your fuel pump, but the pump may still only be working Intermittantly.

Do you know if its a spark or fuel related issue?


The fuel pump if letting go would slowly die as if it was stuttering.
I'm pretty sure it's got no spark, but what is causing the loss of ignition has got me stumped.


do you have any spare Coilpacks or ECU's at your work?

PS. Gotta love the scan-tool eh? :P


yeh we've got a coilpack there, not sure if it's au or ef though.
and yeh, the scan tool is awesome, it saves alot of time and stuffing around.

leroy - i will have a look if i can, it's done it mostly since i've had the pedal box out, but there was 1 time before that when it did cut out, so maybe a plug isn't plugged in right.

have you owned the car since new? if not someone could have done a manual conversion and not replaced something correctly? just a guess!!! anyone know if this may be a reason?

it's a factory manual.
it also hasn't missed a beat, and usually dosen't for a while.

My EL Futura used to do this, would just turn itself off, then start up again by itself while doing 80km/h.
only did it about 4 times, last time was around 4 months ago, and i havent touched anything or replaced anything.
My car is also a factory manual so it may be a common problem.
