Hey guys, seems this last week has been preity much crud for the fd :( yesterday was driving home from work (rx7 daily driver ^^) was doddling along at around 60 - roughly 3krpm, and the car started to buck, backed of slightly and it stoped accelerated again and it bucked. only this time the engine stoped! try apply power nothng, i had to pull over into the layby as soon as i came to a standstill all the lights came on the dash and steering went heavy (as if engine stalled). this urked me as i thought the car had jossed but it started stright back up again! it did it to me again today this is the 2nd time in two days now. surely this can not be compression as its too intermitant - i did a 60 mile drive home from hull on the sunday without a single problem :2Confused
the only thing i can see is this 3k hesitation thing that keeps croping up, but no one seems to mention the car dieing.
Check your battery terminals are tight.

As Carl says, happened to me once on the m-way pressed the brakes and everything went off !!!!
Just the battery terminal was loose :Hammer
yeah it was a little suprised at first as ive never had a car do that to me while going usualy they splutter and die but the rex just seems to pass away gracefuly, :eek
unless ofcourse a rotor tip goes xD
not sure if this is worth mentioning but the car drove great again after filling her up o.o she was down to around 1/4 a tank could this posibly be a fuel restriction thats cuaseing it to die under certain circumstance, as it happned i never got chance to check the battery connections.
