Conked out 2.2 2002 petrol
« on: 03 May 2007, 08:07:12 »
Hi, I am posting this for my mate who has no internet access at work.

On the way home from work last night he stopped at some traffic lights when the engine management light came on and it wouldn't do more than 15 mph. then conked out totally, everything was dead. Tow man said he couldn't see what was wrong, however, when he got it home he disconnected the battery, reconnected and jump started it.

It ran with the engine light on for a minute and conked out again. Repeated the disconnect reconnect and did it again. This time ran fine without the EML light on but with the battery light on.

Sound like Alternator or a bad connection on an earth strap.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Cheers
Frank.

I know the best way to prove whats wrong is to get it tech2 tested but having read the 1st post again I'm thinking it could be alarm related.

When the immobiliser has a fault it can show an eml or atleast i have read this in the past.

Perhaps the immobiliser kicked in causing the car to slow to 15mph then totally cut the engine.

Cant see why that would happen though as keys would have been in the ignition.

Just an idea and I could be way off the mark.

Battery light could be caused by an alternator problem

Very unlikely...
