Default Re: Car lost ALL power at idle

Thanks, all for the comments and suggestions. I’ve been traveling this week, but when I get home on Friday I’ll look into replacing th positive/negative battery cables and see where that gets me.

For the comment below from mmcandre: when you say the car lost power, do you mean the engine? Or all electrics(including things like your hazard lights, radio, odometer)? In my situation, it was like the car had no battery(which is why the cable hypotheses make sense to me), but I want to see if you experienced similar issues leading to rcm.

Thanks again,
max

While I was driving in the weeks leading up to the parking lot finale, I remember 'losing' power but the car recovering and not knowing what this might be (but I love my Crossfire so I'm obviously willing to put up with some quirks so I didn't think too much about it as everything seemed fine other than those milliseconds of 'what the heck?'.

Could this be something related to simply needing to solder the RCM?

Hoping this link to the thread that walked my husband through the repair works...
