I've been trying to remember that actually.. yeah.. possibly.


The new ailment may or may NOT be the result of running it completely out of water and oil.laugh

Maybe a sensor???These cars sometimes go to "return to home mode" when one of them fails.,,Lets hope thats the problem.


When was the last time the air filter for the fuel injection was changed???

not good to be low/out of oil and water, BUT if it was still running that's not the problem on why it stops. sounds like it's starved for fuel - meaning fuel filter or weak fuel pump.

I have the day off!! (whoop!)
because!!
Every time I take my foot off the accelerator (gas pedal?) ... the engine just 'Stops'...

what the.. It was fine yesterday.. but today.. noooope. (it's unleaded.. not diesel btw)A few days ago I checked the oil and water.. and am slightly ashamed to say it was out of BOTH lol

I refilled those.. but anyway..

I just spoke to my dad.. and he said.. 'fer gawwwds sake Claire.. sounds to me like it's terminal.. I bet it's because you didn't keep an eye on the oil and water, ya buggered!' ...



Anyway...

I've dropped it to the garage (over the road)...

But any smart people know what it might be?.. Is my dad right..


I'm sure this has already been suggested (and I'm too dang lazy to go back and read all the posts) but...the fuel pump maybe? dunno
