I have a 1984 CX2500IE pallas auto.
I have been having an intermmitant fault for several months which has eluded my fixing.
I get the motor cutting out. It does not miss fire. It can occur at any speed and at any temperature and even when the car is idling.
Sometimes the motor will cutout then continue running or it will stop all together which means pulling over and it usually restarts immediatley.
I have replaced ignition pickups, most of the relays involved in ignition or fuel management. I have cleaned and tightened ever connector in the engine bay. I have removed both injection and ignition ECU'S.
I have pulled and twisted ever cable that I can get my hands around and I still can't get the beast to cut out.
I have tried disconnecting plugs while it is running and it may stop completely or just continue running but roughtly but not stop and then continue.
Has anyone had a similar problem and found the cure.
My car has key operated central locking. Does this system include an engine imobiliser. I am guessing that this may be faulty but do not know if or where this is mounted.
I have traced the fuel pump wiring but this is OK.
If I disconnect the fuel pump power feed the motor justs slows down until it runs out of fuel. Not the sudden cutout I am experiencing.
Any ideas Please would be greatly appreciated
