Engine cutting out and not starting again
Hi all
Hope somebody can help me to get my cat back on the road. Every now and then, the engine just cuts out at speed. Sometimes if you select "N" on the gearbox, it will start again as you are still rolling, sometimes you have to stop and wait between 3-30min until it will start again. You can turn the key to start but the starter will not operate. No codes to read out, all coils are new.
Can anyone help?

I was having this problem back in January of this year and I think I solved it by replacing the ECM relay. Hard to say exactly because I changed out the alternator that same week, but days after I swapped the relays and before the alternator changeout the problem seemed to be fixed. First I swapped the AC clutch relay (known to be good) with the ECM relay and I found the engine cutouts stopped and the AC was sketchy at best. That week I bought a new relay for the ECM and put the AC clutch relay back in its place. The relays are located right behind the right front headlights. The ECM relay is the right-most as I recall. The AC relay is 3rd to the left as I recall. It's worth a try.

No, I don't know the make and model of the relay; I just called the local indy garage that works on Jags, Bimmers, MBs, etc. and had them order a ECM relay. I picked it up and installed it. Cost me $19 or abouts.
I think all three relays are the same, but I as I recall the second relay was more important to keep running than the AC clutch relay given that it was winter.
