Hi all,
Weirdest problem this evening. My engine just cut out at low speed luckily. Eng light flashed on and then off. Would not start but turned over. I had my ODBII adapter in the car and I pulled out a P00087 code. I reset it and initially it did not start. Few minutes later it fired up and I managed to get home.
Sadly its one of those scary breakdowns that kill the engine and power steering and braking efficiency.
I am worried to drive again unless I can work out diagnostic.
I was at low speed because I was going over speed bumps (sleeping policeman). Did I knock out the fuel pump or something or does anyone have any ideas? Air in fuel?
It had a new fuel filter about 6K ago but its been sat in a dealer for 6 months.
Thats about as much as I can tell you.
