Turns off outta nowhere

[ITSME4G63]

Yeah, so thursday morning Im Driving to work, and my car turns off outta nowhere. So I pull to the side, and I crank it on again, it turns on only to die 1 second later. So I pop the hood, I look at all the hose connections, all the pipes seem to be on right, I check he oil level, and I notice that I was a little low, So I add some oil, crank the engine, and it stays on. Alright, now yesterday, when I drove to and from work it was ok. Then like around 7:30pm I start heading downtown, onto the highway, and the ####ign car turns off right on the highway, so I pull over to the shoulder with my emergency flahers and pop the hood, Nothing was loose, everything seemed fine, oil level is ok, So im like wtf? I look around the engine bay for a couple more minutes hoping to find some kind of loosened clamp or hose but nothing. I turn it on and it stayed on, I then drove home and the car has been sitting since then, GUYS CAN YOU HELP ME!?

[ITSME4G63]

anyone?

 

[ITSME4G63]

ok im going to attempt to reset ecu, sounds dumbs, but it might do the trick.

 

[Eclipse96Ryder]

are you leaking oil?

are you venting the BOV?

if you have no oil pressure usually the car will turn off...my friends talon just had this problem

 

[ITSME4G63]

are you venting the BOV?

YES

 

[BigDaddy186]

YES

I know it sounds kool but try turning without p/s lets keep our cars in one piece
venting=

 

[DevilSperm]

yeah i think we found the problem

 

[ITSME4G63]

Tested with pocket logger, balanced out the fuel trim with the afc, but when my car was standing still idling one fuel trim dropped below 50% right before the car died, that means it got super rich, Im beaing tol if I get the recirculation kit, that might fix the problem. Oh we did a run 2nd gear wot, at the end of 2nd when I let of the gas, car turned off, 0 knock though

 

[DevilSperm]

yes, thats exactly what happens when you vent with a stock maf....recirculate that and it will run ten times better

 

[ITSME4G63]

recirculation kit is supposed to come via ups tommorow, wish me luck

 

[ITSME4G63]

Update, it was the ecu, it has been replaced, car runs fine, original ecu had capacitors leaking.

 

[DevilSperm]

shitty, but good to know its running again

 

[ITSME4G63]

thanks, the ecu is from a galant vr-4, but it supposed to be the same shat so its all goo din the neighborhood, well until I got my new alarm installed and the place that was doing it forgot to hook my hks svc boost controller back up (its like one of the first evc's, it only has a knob to turn the boost up or down), I didnt notice it until nighttime because during the day you cant see it being lit up at all, so I guess im going to go to that place after work monday and see if thye know how to hook it back up.
