[QUOTE="masCh, post: 5025, member: 964"] I just had a problem, I'm not sure what the cause is.I was driving at 40-50 kmh just now, and right after taking a right turn, suddenly I felt the car choke and when I pressed the pedal it wasnt so smooth. I thought "something's going to happen" so I looked for a place I can stop by the road. Right upon stopping and putting my gear to Neutral, the engine dies and the Battery light comes up on the dash. The airconditioning wasnt on, my windows were up.After waiting about one minute, I started the car again, I just pressed on the pedal a couple of times just to make sure it wont die. Then I signalled and moved. I reached home which was just about 1km away. Upon reaching home, just after I put the gear to Parking, the engine dies again and the battery light comes again.Then after waiting some 30 secs, I try to start the car. RPM goes to 1000 then drops and gains then drops and engine dies.What could be wrong?My first guess is alternator, but it could also be air flow or timing. [/QUOTE]
