Well its been a long time since ive been on these forums (since I was a young dumb teenager looking to do sick mods
 )anyway so my 6gc has been cutting out randomly with no warning. I will be driving along then the engine light comes on simultaneously as the engine cuts (all the other lights come on too) and I have to very quickly clutch to maintain as much momentum as possible and pull off the road. This has happened numerous places, on the way to gym, peak hour traffic and not even at the end of my driveway. THen I cannot start the car. Sometimes I have just left it and came back several hours later and it starts fine, other times wriggle wires and itll run for 30 sec then wont for a few hours. Very frustrating as it has been a couple of weeks since it happened last, and when the car is running me and my dad (motor mech and diesel fitter by trade) cannot diagnose the problem. Today when i was wriggling wires I pulled this plug, which has now disintegrated except for the actual connection. I will try and start it later but is this plug needed for the car to actually run?   anybody had similar problems with their car stopping like this? or knows what it is? |

had a quick look on the net at igniters and how much it may cost me.
the numbers on mine: 89621-26010 131300-1744 CHD1 Ebay ads stating this number will fit: 89321-26010 131300-1743 174 Is this true? |
