Engine shut down suddenly

[snoop]

Sifu Sifu please help, have change my battery recently, check alternator, and send to mechanic diagnose no problem. My engine shut down while driving and the battery lights comes on, but fail to identify the problem? :39:Engine shut down off and on while driving, anyone experience such problem? :s:

check your crank sensor

snoop,

it might be your alternator, since the battery is only to start engine after that the alternator will do the electrical job before the distributor...have both of alternator and distributor check...that's why the batt light on.:wink:

Follow Iglima suggestion.. it the crank shaft sensor.

Snoop ,
Alternately , a cheaper way to troubleshoot is to the clean / change all the battery connection ( + ve & -ve ) , do an extra grounding from the
alternator to the car body or engine . Your alternator might be fine but
due to our car age , extra grounding might be necessary .
Had similar problem before ( but not to the level that the engine died - just that the battery light keep coming out ) .

Good luck , bro !

Yeap, seconded. I have similar problem a couple month back. It is crank shaft sensor faulty. :wink:
