Hiya,

driving halfway and the engine just died....the oil and the battry light went on...and I got to restart the car again...just stops like that, no stall nothing, I notice the power steering lock is back on....It's the 3rd time for the past two weeks, all happened as I am braking...once while stopping straight...twice while stopping to turn...

I'm using an automaster alarm, my best guess so far is that the alarm unit is faulty and cuts the fuel some time after the car started...however according to the manual, if that happens, the car will get locked; which it does not....need help, this is really dangerous, can't imagine what would happened iof the car just switch off midway driving the freeway

bckground detail....

about two weeks ago I installed a PFC, Greddy boost controler..however the boost controler was faulty so I removed it ..I'm now running 5 pound of boost without any boost controler...other mods, only a BOV HKS filter and CAI box...dun think these causes what's happening anyways.....

My suggestion as with all "sudden" enginge faults is to double check all the wiring to the ECU - make sure it's all connected properly and tucked away neatly.

Mate has the same problem whenever someone accidently kicks the ECU area as his wiring is not done in the best manner.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
