Thread: SE-L died on me.

Check the connections on the battery and grounds. Almost sounds like a intermittent connection. If you come to the fuel pump i have one you can try from the 200. If you need a voltmeter i have a couple, i could lend you one or help diagnose too.
Do a once over the whole engine bay, wiggle, move, and inspect most things including connections at the MAF, Dizzy, Plug wires, and so on. Check the cap and rotor as well, did you wash the car recently? i know its been getting colder at night which may create condensation that could cause an issue.

Well before this whole shebang even happened today I order new plugs, wires, dizzy cap, rotor, seal, and fuel pressure gauge and lines. So we'll see once the new parts come in. I'll drive the car to work tomorrow and see how it goes.

my se-l dizzy took a **** on me when i turboed it, but the car wouldn't start at all after it went.

I was thinking the coil also, not even the one in the dizzy. I had the same issue when it was heated up, the car would die 9even on the highway. I swapped the coil and I haven't had the issue since.

Okay, well I drove the car to work today, and out for lunch, about 20 miles total. And no problems whatsoever, no stumbling, surging, lurching, nothing. Absolutely stable. I'll put on the new stuff, get a new battery and starter and cross my fingers that it doesn't happen to me again. And I'll jack a voltmeter from work and check that coolant sensor.
