Hi all!
I hope that you may be able to help me with my Justy. It is doing some strange things that I could sure use some help with. I have read the past posts that seem to pertain to my symptoms so here they are keeping in mind that they are all sporadic and inconsistent.
1. Engine dies after it's warmed up and driving along with no particular trend as to when it happens other than being at low speeds or sitting at a stop and idling. I have heard "clicking" (like a relay?) from either under the dash or firewall area accompanied with check engine, and rpm loss. Both of the latter continue together until it dies. Sometimes it just dies without the above, sometimes it runs great.
2. Once it dies it will not start or starts extremely hard after I try to melt my starter.
3. Other times it will run great and start great after a short run or it may decide not to start after a short run.
4. Sometimes I get check engine and some times not. I have followed the directions for checking the trouble codes but none show up. I look at the red led and it flashes the first time slowly and then seems to continuously cycle through three short flashes.
5. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, are fairly new but not brand new. I have not changed the fuel filter. I did find a broken wire to the electric fan and fixed but all else looked good. Sprayed carb with cleaner and put cleaner in the fuel tank. Checked wires, connections, timing belt, etc.
6. So do you think it may be one of the various sensors, coil, choke settings, or ?
It is an '89 Justy awd gl w/ manual trans and 80k miles and in fine shape. It has a slight oil leak in the engine but all in all a great car.
I appreciate your help and am anxious to hear from some of you who have the knowledge on these fine cars. Thanks. Matt
