ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Corroded battery connections can do that. I had a similar issue... turned, but wouldn't start. A push-start worked (manual transmission). I replaced the battery and starter, same result. Cleaned the cables... and it worked perfectly.

It would go for days with no issues, and then out of the blue, it would quit again. Replaced the main relay and that took care of the problem.
      That's what I though, they bypassed the clutch switch and it apparently had the same problems it's having now before they bypassed it.

        I think I'll just replace the cables all together because the ones on it are original and are a bit loose, especially the positive terminal. And they're corroded a good bit.

          If you have spark, move on to fuel. I had a Caddy that did the same thing and it turned out to be the fuel injectors. Though the Caddy was sluggish as well and it sounds like yours operate just fine outside of cutting out. Don't rule out the Main Relay though either. Good luck.

            So I took it to the shop and they tested the battery and alternator and they said it works just fine, I told them the problems I was having and they looked at me like I was crazy until I took one of them for a ride. They don't have a clue what's causing it either.

                When it does not start listen for the main relay . It will make a CLICKING noise from under the dash . I no clicking then i would suspect main relay . I once had a interment no start and when it did not start there would be no clicking from main relay. I fix main relay and problem went away .

                  Is it possible that it could be a clogged cat chokin down the engine? Because all electrical stuff still works after it cuts off. The interior lights and high beams dim a little every now and then though.

                    Yeah the main relay works. It clicks when I try to start it. It's like I'm trying to turn the car on when I don't have gas but I know it's getting gas. We checked the whole fuel system, from the tank and pump to the filter and injectors.

                      I'd bring a tool 8 or 10 mil socket.

                      Drive around and when it dies unscrew the service port on the fuel rail and turn the key on to see if u have fuel flow.

                      Check also the ground on the thermostat housing.
                      What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                      You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

                        Alright, I'll try that. Where's the ground for the thermostat?

                          You will see a ground bolted directly on the thermostat. I'm highly doubting thats your issue tho.

                            Clogged catalysts are largely a thing of the past. Modern catalysts have much better substrates, which both flow better and are less likely to break up.

                            I have seen pictures of catalysts clogged with MMT (a fuel additive to raise octane that used to be available in Canada). But even here the clogging was only around the edges and the center of the catalyst was still open. It reduced power and fuel economy a bit, but not so much that the driver would notice.

                            I'm not saying it can't happen. But it is rare these days.

                              Now my lights dim when I shift and let the clutch out, sometimes it'll dim while coasting. But so far it hasn't cut off or stopped turning over for about two days.

                                I don't think it is then lol. I've noticed that it cuts off and on when under heavy acceleration, SOMETIMES it'll cut off and back on when cruising around. After it does that if I park it, it'll crank but it won't turn over unless it sits for a while.
