Hi,

My mum (yes that's right my mum has gtr haha) anyway she was driving it today and everything was fine and then i am told all of a sudden the engine seemed to cut out for a part of a second as well as lost power steering abs etc and all warning lights on the dash came on and then she stopped, am unclear whether car stalled or cut-out or what cos i wasn't there. Anyway my dad tells her to just start it again and keep goin :chairshot so she started it and kept driving and it happened again but this time stopped for good, nothing works other than lights outside the car and by the sounds of it only stuff that doesn't go through ecu internal electronics etc... they checked fuses but none inside the car looked blown so have no idea. Perhaps all ecu's are fried????

They are getting the car trucked back home.

Does anyone have any idea what could have happened and what could be wrong? My guess is something was shorting out but nothing has been touched on the electronics lately.

Looks like might have to get power fc :)

Thanks

Jamie

Check the fuses near the battery, does it have ignition lights?? check fuses in engine bay. Does the alarm appear to arm and disarm?? Chances of it being an ECU are very slim.

i had a similar problem with my R33, thought the ECU was fried etc or turbo's stuffed...

was accelerating, lost all power, car idled, but when i gave it some gas it would just die.. had to get the car towed..

turned out i had a stuffed AFM (phew!).. might be worth checking?

Ok sorry 4 taking so long to uipdate this. Turns out the car would start again when lef 4 a while. Apparently the hicas computer in the boot was very hot. Anyone know if any of the computers have a thermal protection function or something?
