Engine stops randomly
Engine stops randomly
Hello,
Since a few months, the engine of my Crossfire (2004 - manual) stops randomly when I drive (with all the lights on). I performed this operation several times :
.If I do nothing, the engine restarts after approximately one minute.
.If I unlock and lock with the remote, the engine restarts immediately.
I'd say that this is a pattern but, last time the engine stopped, something else happened : the cooling fan ran fast and I didn't manage to restart (I tried during 10 minutes) even with the unlock/lock operation. Then a tow truck brought the car to the garage and she started immediately... I read a lot of threads about this issue and it seems that it could be related to the RCM and especially the relays/solders.
What I'd like to know is if a RCM failure would have something to do with the unlock/lock remote operation. If not, what do you think the issue could be (ECU, skreem...) ?
Thanks,
Fabien

Fix two possible problems at once rather than wait to find you have put in or fixed the wrong part.
I carry a spare of each part in my trunk but if I had your problem I know what I would do.

Re: Engine stops randomly
Thanks ala_xfire and onehundred80.
Do you advise this RCM model ?

Also, do you have a link for the CPS ?
