Danny_E30 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Hey all. For a few weeks now my car has been cutting out while im driving. It doesn't die completly but cuts out a few times each time. Would anyone know what is causing this as i need to get it fixed. I was told it could be the fuel lines, or fuel filter? All comments appreciated! Cheers Danny.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Replace the fuel filter would be something to do if it hasnt been done already anyway, are only about $12 from Repco etc Clean the air flow sensor with specific cleaner from Repco called CRC Mass Air Sensor Cleaner Check your air intake, throttle body hoses have no leaks, tears etc also Check ignition leads, and spark plugs for cleanliness That would be the first things I would check I am sure there is someone else on here with more qualified advice than me though haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Need to get a socket for a ratchet, many auto stores sell a spark plug socket, or you can get a specific spark plug removing tool. Are not very expensive from memory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) If those don't do anything, replace the fuel pump relay, can cause that problem. ps, I've also had that problem with a dry connection at the fuel tank pump, under the back seat.
