jakeep82 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Right ive always had a problem some times i start car up and the revs or dials wont move so wont show how much its reving then it will just die and cut out i have to lock the car then unlock start it and its fine! took the battery off the other day and its been on idle at about 500 revs and sometimes it just cuts out and dies think its something to do with the alarm but im unsure. plus i think its running rich it smells like it when its just sat there running is there anything i can use do to help eliminate a few of my problems ?

Taggy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 A bad earth on the car can cause really weird problems like this, check the earthing straps on the car, they might look ok, but undo them, grease them and put them back on, i think there is one from the battery to the right of it to the chassis, another is attached the the gearbox. Visually check them, if they are really rusty take em off clean them up and try Quote Link to post Share on other sites
