Car Just Died

[subzeroR33]

Hello everyone, I just got home after waiting 3 hours for a tow truck. I was driving along and my car just shut down. I still had headlights and dash lights.

It has no ignition or imobilzer, what does this sound like to you, i thought coil pack or ignition.

It runs a mirco tech lt-12 and has a MSD DIS4, would they maybe have some thing to do with it.

CHEERS.

Something like that happened to my colleague's car once, and it was the ECU. Doesn't sound very serious to me, as it's probably just an electrical thing. Good luck though ^_^

What car is it anyway?

I have a pfc and the car often just died while driving the first slow down after a hard accelerate...

but I am able to restart when the car still rolls

I think its about time I got RACV extra care...

My old car always broke, but I don't think I'd consider that I was just 'driving' along. All I had to do was quote my name on the phone and the lady knew exactly where to send the tow truck man

I joined over the phone with RACQ when i was on the side of raod. It cost me $153 for two years road side service and free tows or the other option was to get it towed for $120. So i took the $153 two year option.

So the road side service guy comes out and says or not this sushi crap, refering to my car,he didnt have a f*#ken clue what a MSD or microtech ecu was, he was saying you have power in your battery it should start, which was obvious as i had headlights, but no ignition.

So he calls a tow truck the tow truck turns up he says the cars to low and that he needs a special tow truck and that will cost me an extra $88 im like what, i just joined for $153 for the free tows with in ten kms.

In the end 3and half hours later ,another towie shows up from nowhere and says i wll tow it for $60, he starts pulling out these ramps, hooks up the car and im on the back of the the tray in 15mins with no damage to bodykit.

My experience with RACQ. SHIT CRAP INCOMPETENT. Thats my whinge.
