cutting out stalling

lyndon · Post by **lyndon** » 27 Mar 2012, 12:54

Help! My 850 2.5 10-valve sometimes cuts out on a right turn, which

is very inconvenient on roundabouts in the UK. The symptoms are: 1-

the engine dies and will not re-start. 2- the engine cranks but there

is no spark at the coil. 3- when you turn on the ignition the

temperature gauge goes right up, then right down even though the

engine temperature is normal before it cuts out. 4- after about 40

minutes it will re-start and the temp. gauge works normally. It has

happened a number of times now

l Please can someone help? Thanks lyndon ps new coil,spark plugs cam sen

How much gas is in the car? Will it happen with a full tank?

Your battery good? Lack of spark could be the battery, or perhaps a loose ground. The instruments going up and down are a sign of battery problems.

It dose not make a difference how much gas/petrol is in. Thanks
