Hello all, hoping for abit of advice on fixing a current issue ive got with my stilo.
Ill try going into as much detail as i possibly can.
Brought this stilo as a do-er up-er while im doing my driving lessons, previous owner did mention it does cut out every now and then but still drives fine but i would like to get to the bottom of this and get it running perfectly with no faults.
But anyway,
Car will start up fine (though the starter does sound abit weak), will sit on idle at about 900-1k rpm quite nicely (odd judder every now and then). I leave it ticking while i do a few inspections under the hood when after about 5-10 minutes it just cuts out as though someone just walked up and turned ignition off (baring in mind ive not touch anything yet, just stood and listened or any odd noises which there was none) but the cut out was followed by a list of errors and panel beeps.
list of errors are:
ASR failure
Alternator failure
ABS failure
EBM failure
Loose Connection
Turned ignition off and took out key, reinsterted key and turned it to MAR. i let it run through it check, everything came back out (besides the service light) fired back up fine (again bit of a weak starter) and again sits fine 900-1k rpm, this time i put foot down and get revs up to 4k, let it sit there for a little bit but after bout 30sec to 1min of 4k rpm cuts out again with the same errors flashing on the dash.
So basically this is what happens everytime i have the car running, im unsure of what it like when driven but im to assume the result would be the same.
I have spent the past week searching all over google and the forum for any possible answers, but however all i have come across is alot of advice but all on dead threads none of which state if the result was successful or not.
im currently waiting for my elm327 cable to arrive so i can check for error codes, i have took out the battery and put it on slow charge for the weekend (battery is only 2 year old, no corrosion on the contacts) just got myself a multimeter but not to sure on what test im suppost to do and what results im looking for really.
But any advice, solutions, tests, ideas i would be most greatful for. ive tried a few things all mentioned on here but the problem still there so i want to start a fresh. Would love to get this car running the way its ment to cause it looks like such an amazing car.
Thanks in advance.
