The car just stopped no cough no stutter just went from cruising along to engine off, dash all lit up as it does when you turn on the accessories, engine cranks over just won't start, I didn't have much time to look at it as I was heading to work just had it towed home, tomorrow I'll get hold of a scan tool and see what it says, I can hear the fuel pump priming and can feel fuel flowing in the rail, So I'm thinking no spark and or no injector pulse, Has this happened to anyone else? Ba mk2 F6 114,000k's 60lbs injectors sct tune that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hard stopping at 110k with semis going around you. I never found out what it was. Got it home and it started and ran as normal. No codes or the likes either. I got rid of the car a month later to a guy that owned a wreckers so hopefully you're in better shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass rail? Sounds dangerous having it conk out like that. I've never had my BFII do that in the 280,000 odd km I've driven it. You must need to thrash the pants off it a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's a compression issue. I'd be doing a compression test first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the least likely thing on that list for it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take off on its own randomly, cruise would come on by itself, it would stop like this one. The worst was the dodge master cylinder that would just randomly try to stop the car at the worst times. Hit 110k km and it went downhill very fast.

That is the least likely thing on that list for it to be. I agree that without any other evidence, it's the least likely of outcomes... Most likely is spark. Second most likely is fuel. Air/compression are probably equally unlikely... I say compression first because he said he could hear the fuel. Spark shouldn't just drop off a cliff like the symptoms say and air supply shouldn't be compromised or you'd notice some sort of decline or splutter if you're getting heaps of fuel and not much or no air. Loss of compression can cause a sudden engine stop like that, but again usually makes noises indicating something went wrong... Could still be anything, though.

As we all know it could be a variety of causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cool down and run then turn off again as it warmed up again. Never happened again but I figured it was the fuel pump as I hear its a known problem once hot. I do have mods since and a new pump so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
