jb9999 0 Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 When the engine cut out, did all the ignition lights come on straight away or did the dash go completelt dead as well? Could be wrong but looks like a dodgy earth connection to me, or some kind of electrical connection, unless someone knows better. Link to post Share on other sites
