2.1 dj cutting out dead .
Posted: 17 Jun 2012, 19:26
ok so the story goes like this .
went on holiday to devon from colchester , essex .. approx 630 miles round trip mostly fully ladened ,plus 3 bikes etc etc. it averaged around 25 mpg, and gave no problems what so ever until , maybe 1 mile from home, when it cut out and died .. dead .
rev counter went haywire , and then nothing, i had on occasions noticed the odd bit of bucking , but it alwys went and never ever died .
we went to clacton on sea today and then from there to tiptree in essex and once again , after it had been runing and got hot ( long journey hot ) it died .. same as before.
it always restarts, normally first turn of the key, although when it died 2 miles from home , it took maybe 3/4 goes. like the fuel had gone .
my guess is its ignition related not fuel , as it had half a tank, and then restarted .. also the rev counter must be a tell tale.
any ideas. i see on another thread a faulty ignition amp may do this .
my problem lies here, like most im skint at the mo , ive taken a 12 grand plus pay cut just to keep a job after being made redundant , so i really dont have loads of free readies to throw at it , but i dont mind replacing any faulty parts as prevention is better than cure .
obviously im open to suggestions and help ..if anyones local thats had this im all ears .
to add
performance is always good, it does nt use oil or water and was just treated to a nice service before we went away, bar this ive had no problem with it , other than a dodgy dash connection to the oil pressure sensor
