power cut out
well heres a story just as i was comin home today on the freeway my power kept shutting off and clicking back on.....when im going 60-85 it didnt really do it when i was slower then 60 but like my rpms would drop then and the power would shut off then like 1 seconds later or less it would pop back on...any thoughts?
|
That used to happen when I first bought the car, had a loose battery cable that kept sliding off the terminal. Check that.
|
ooo good thinkin my battery cable is like stretched to its last mm to fit lol and the battery is sorta tilted :/ i should really fix that lol
|
it might also be a loose m.a.f or loose intake but also def check the terminal
|
Dying alternator?
|
its possible but i just had it replaced by gregs like 4 months ago or less

heres some pick of the engine...look at the battery cable thats new and under it is corroded and everytime i hit a bump it shuts off too
Attachment 21472 and is this supposed to b plugged into anything Attachment 21473 Attachment 21474 |
Hell yeah that is sapoose to be plugged in to something. That is plugged into your radiator hose housing that goes into your motor!!!! In other words, it a temp sensor!! Its located to the left of your red plug next to your throttle body.

see what i mean the guy who had my engine before me totally killed it by trying to rig it and do everything himself, but on the other hand my temp guage works is the temp sensor have to do with the guage, what exactly does the temp sensor do?
and also i was thinking back to what positron said about battery terminal. my positive battery terminal looks bad, but never the less, i was informed that once your engine is running it runs off of the alternator so if ur battery terminal disconnects your car wouldnt shut off? i that correct or am i a little off and ill get more engine pics...theres a few things that looks like they should be plugged in but aren't |
Your battery is still needed to complete the circuit. If the car is running and you attached the two terminals together it would run, but if you have a loose terminal it will kill the engine.

nothing wrong with that at all.. now if he totally screwed things up and you bought the car bro.. that was maybe a bad choice on your part... buying other people projects does that to you... have you solved the issue yet?? |
not yet ima start workin on it in bout 1 hour or 2 and i know its my fault for buy this piecer but that was just why im gettin a new engine thats not rigged.
but ill take more pics or the engine and his rigged **** |
somethin is already plugged into the temp sensor besides that and today i wiggled a bunch of **** and pressed some stuff in u know just somethin stupid and it made it so every tiny bump doesnt turn it off but now only the big ones do
