hobojobo Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hey guys, I was just driving my 510 and while driving at freeway speeds it was losing almost all power then getting it all back and backfiring until it just died... Couldent get it started again and towed it home... any ideas on what could cause this issue? im thinking something electrical because it was running fine yesterday. its a l20b with a 32/36 if that helps Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Dont want to sound like a broken record, but this is exactly how my car acted on the freeway when the ignition condenser went out. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 LOL mine did the same thing a few hours back. Found some garbage clogged in the jets. Wasn't getting fuel. Have you checked for spark? Fuel? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Same as running out of gas. Quote Link to comment
hobojobo Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I also have an MSD box and coil if that helps... Im in the process of checking for fuel and spark right now ill let you know in a bit Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Best videos on youtube ^^ I watch them all the time Hainz. If still no spark, start with the box. You can download the tech sheets on their website that guides you on testing the box. Is it the 6AL? Quote Link to comment
hobojobo Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 It wasnt getting fuel, tested the pump, pump was bad, replaced pump and now its all better... thanks for all the ideas guys even though they were all wrong:P Jk Quote Link to comment
