Hi all,
I’m hoping some of you can help.
Yesterday while driving to work my engine just turned off while driving through a local village. There’s no other way to describe it. The car was running smooth as always, at first I didn’t know what had happened as I just coasted to a stop. The fault is obviously electrical as there were no mechanical rumblings or jerky-ness. There were no warning indications on the dash or anything pointing towards a fault.
I tried switching off and on again. No good. The locking system is fully functional, the steering lock is releasing, the battery is very strong however when I turn the key the car goes through the normal starting procedures but does not call the starter. Monitoring the battery voltage and there is no dip or ‘pull’ of power. I tried disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and tried again but to no avail.
The car is at my mechanics now but I haven’t heard anything from him. The recovery guy mentioned an eis module. Is this likely to be the culprit?
My car is a 2010 model with just under 80k miles and does not have start/stop function.
Any pointers much appreciated.
