ashmk3 0 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ahh ok didn't want you sitting there wondering why nothing was changing lol. My old obd1 engine used to start and cut out then start and be fine. That was something to do with the heated O2 sensor(lambda). May also sound strange but fairly cheap to try Is the ignition switch.

ashmk3 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 It's on the end of the key barrel held unplaced by two small screws. You'll have to remove the plastic covering the steering column. And it's a right pain to get to. Link to post Share on other sites
