my engine has been fine the 8 months ive had it

it has just a stardard 4k and when I'm driving its completly fine to drive and when i start it it clicks over first go

BUT!!! when I'm driving and i slow down to stop and the revs in the motor decrease it turns off

when the motor turns off it will start up again and go again

ITS JUST WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE CAR TURNS OFF

ANY 1 PLZ HELP ME

 

just throwing it out there but ive just installed my 760 watt amp and 1300 12' sub

COULD the sub and amp be draining the power from the battery and therefore i need a bigger battery????

or is it a motor problem ??

 

has anyone had this problem b4??

I'm no electron brother but I'd say with 2000watts of juice, you're pulling a hell of a lot of current that should be running your motor.

 

You won't need a battery, you'll need a bigger alternator. The 25 amp unit in your car is probably lacking.

 

Turn all your audio gear off and see if you have the same issue.

Set the idle level with the music system running. Maybe your alty will run it, but the grunt to turn the alty means the motor needs a few more revs...

i set the timing to faster revs and it helped but it still stops every now n then

??

anyone?

Could be the needle and seat in the carb.

 

Is it more likely to stall if you pull up fast?

Does it only happen when your foot is on the brake?

no its all to do with the revs when the car trys to stall its when the revs just die and the engine can't maintaine running without me on the accelerator keeping her going

Does it idle at all?

 

If not then the idle jet in the carb is blocked, or a similar problem somewhere in the idle circuit.

idle cut off solenoid sounds like it's not working, should hear a click from the carbie when the ignition is turned on, if not; it's a good bet it's stuffed.

id say get a larger alternator, might as well if your going to run stereo system

also if you like to play your music with the car off then buy a larger battery, mod the batter holder to suit or boot your battery

 

also it sounds like you have a problem with your idle mixture running rich, happening to my car atm and mines efi :jamie:

does your gases coming out the rear smell like its burning rich

if it does try leaning it out by adjusting the air bypass and throttle stop, screw out the air bypass and revs should pick up a lil, then screw out the throttle stop to drop the revs a little bit

idle cut off solenoid sounds like it's not working, should hear a click from the carbie when the ignition is turned on, if not; it's a good bet it's stuffed.

+1 on that.

If you don't know what it looks like, have a look at the carby and you'll see a pair of wires hanging off a cylinder looking thingy and thats your "idle cut off solenoid" and if its not that then its a carby issue as altezzaclub and Felix said

If its anything to do with your thumping stereo the red alternator light will start coming on and when the car dies it take a bit more then a click of the key to re-start

check that all of you vacuum lines are connected cos mine was stallin if i put my foot on the clutch or come to a stop and i found a vaccum line was off an i put it back on an its running fine now. sounds simple but just giv it a go an u mite find that 1s off.

Guys, please try to use English!
