Hi guys am from canada i have an EP82 & its taking the piss outta me.its fairy stock except for the recent addition of a straight through 2.5" stainless steel exhaust other mods just k&n air filter, turbo timer, volt stabilizer,quad lights conversion & some handling mods thts it.
Now to my problem: monday i was coming home class goin around the corner on the hwy onramp when the car starts bogging sound like it was goin to shut off, so i floor the pedal it sounds like it was back-firing, i was like shit wot now? it drove fine for the next 45km then i got off the hwy and come to a stop light; light goes Green, car is dead in middle of the road. try to crank it; nothing;lights in dash dim really dim put 4ways on don't flash. when i turn key to ON; 2 lights come up on dash 1 is shape of a Batt & the other is to the right side of Batt icon & shapes like an engine over-heating. Temp guage was fine & oil level fire. i had my wife bring me a start booster, hook it up starts fine, then drove 3km had to brake behind a truck & shuts off again. drag car home bought a new Battery charge it drove it 1days works fine then ,2day, wouldnt start had tp push start.3rd day car goes dead again 2km from my home, only a lot more bogging, and last 2mins be4 goes dead driving like running out of gas lots of puttering and shit "freaks me out big time"
father in law help me drag it home.
