This is starting to freak my brain.
Story goes, cat stuffed a battery, replaced and all went well. One week later did a 2 hour round trip and parked car back up, went to restart in morning and shuts down on idle between 3-5 minutes of warming up. Changed fuel relay (old owner says this is the problem) no fix, test battery while running, saw voltage drops, so would have put money on the alternator being on the way out. Would appear not as I have had that reconditioned and fitted and car STILL shutting down. It drives well, I. E still mkes same power just on idle it stops.
Plugged laptop into ecu and it is not bringing any faults up. Tried looking for diagnostic pity and a great idea by the old owner was to chop it out of loom...
Pleaseeee somebody help I have spent more money on this car in the last 3 weeks and had nothing but down time with it. The hole point of buying this car was to enjoy reliable fun motoring.
Thanks
Mark
