Hi Guy's

I gave the engine bay a good washdown today, keeping water
well away from the air intake  etc   etc  ....

On my way home after doing about 5 miles I pulled away at the
traffic lights and lost all engine power, had to crawl over the lights on tickover,
I pulled up safely and the tickover was up and down all over the place..!!

As I reaved it the smoke out of the exhaust made me very worried.. :shock:
After playing it alittle and trying to make my way home on tickover it
just burst in to life and is now running fine, I thought at the time that
the timing had sliped a tooth as the garage has just fitted a new timing belt..

So I can only asume I got water somewere I shouldn't of done..!!!!

The question is Where..... :?:

Andy.:
ouch, does sound a bit worrying that Paul  :shock:

Reminds me of the problem I've just had with the wiring in the engine bay  :evil:

Might just be worth in daylight to have a quick check of all the wiring you can see, earth straps etc.....

HTH

Paul:
I think it's a problem with water getting somewere it shouldn't be
rather than a loose / broken wire, I will be giving a good look over in
the daylight and NOT washing the engine bay again.. :lol:   :lol:

Paul:
Just had an idea... :idea:

If I take it to the garage were I got it from would they be able
to find out what happened if they hook it up to there computer.. :?:

ChrisW:
It should have stored any fault codes that happened... might be worth a try but just be careful if they want to charge you an arm and a leg just to plug it in  :wink:
