Right, was just driving along and suddenly at the traffic lights the car starts chugging worse than usual, with the idle at around 500, so i blip the throttle and go.. I'm at a steady 3k revs then I lose all power and the revs drop right down to 500 again while i'm still moving and while my foot is down to the floor!!
Then power was restored and it shot off, but it kept doing the same! :roll: So I pulled up and switched the engine off to check everything was tight which it was..
Then when I go to start the car, i turn the key and all I could hear was the fuel pump but no starter! The starter has been on/off the last few days so i'm not sure whether it's sticking or what??
Get it started by bumping it and it continues to keep giving me power then taking it away and all of a sudden acts perfectly half way through the journey!??
When I get home the starter motor is ok too, plus sometimes when the car is off and the keys are out some of the lights remain partially illuminated?
Could all this be connected? I did all my earths the other day too, but what's the earth for that's on the front of the box (near the front bumper) as if that got wet could it cause issues as the rain was quite bad?
Here's a video of it's issues, note that my foot was in the same position on the accelerator!
