Car Stalling

Postby HaggisTurbo on Sat Jul 26, 2003 9:12 am

My Fiesta only seemed to have started doing this today, its a 1.1 mk3.5, 5 dr. THe problem is when the car is driven at speeds over 50mph it just dies as in just as if you stalled it the oil and battery light come on and the engine dies, it only ever does it above 50mph the temperature sits around middle on the guage and cleaned the ecu contacts so now im all out of ideas any suggestions please.

some detail of how it cuts out would be nice

does it sound like it runs out of fuel?

if ur unsure what this sounds like with the car sat at idle take the fuel pump fuse out .


when was the car last serviced? if it was longer than a year ago change the oil/air filter/fuel filter
