Hey guys,
Strangest thing just happened to me on the way home from work! Was cruising about 60-70kph on a straight road (had music on quite loud).
Anyways the car just dies, and slowly comes to a stop.....
Tried to start it back up, and the starter motor turns, but it wont start!! All the electrics are working, air con still on so I figured the battery was fine.Got my mechanic mate to come help me out, he checks everything in the engine bay everything seems fine. Fuel is pumping. This is where things get interesting.
Attempt to start the car again - nothing!
Pulled out the ecu harness, waited then reconnected. Then attempt to start the car again - nothing!
A couple mins later, as a last ditch effor, we get our jumper cables out. Connect it up and bam !!! It starts!!
Having said that...
1) if it was a battery issue, why on earth would my car just die like that while cruising?
2) why would all the electrics be working, starter motor turning etc etc?
Not that i think it matters, but my battery is pretty small, I had the music up real loud with the bass crankin. So even if my alternator was fudged, doesnt explain why it would die mid-drive. What do you guys reckon?
EDIT: Car is an R34 GTT
