Hey all,

I need some help. My car is running fine, and idles great, but at
seemingly random times the engine will just stop! There's no noises, no
nothing. Everything else seems to be OK.

The speed I'm going doesn't seem to matter either. Its happened when I
was going 65MPH, and happened when i've been at a dead stop. There's no
sputtering, or rough running - its just like a switch was thrown and
the engine stops.

Despite all this, the car will start right back up and run perfectly
until this random thing happens again.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

- Ryan

First step is to replace the Motronic and fuel pump relays, 10 quid
each. They live under the black plastic strip in front of the
windscreen.

Thanks for the advice. I've ordered some relays and should have them
within a few days.

I'll have to look for those. I'm not sure I have the black plastic
strip as you describe. Mine is a U.S. plain stock 325. I do have a set
of three relays that are directly to the left of the fuse box. I'm
guessing thats where the Motronic relay is sitting? Either way, they
look pretty dirty and could possibly be the orignal relays that came
with the car.

Thanks again!
