cutting out "yes again"

classicmac · Oct 18, 2007

yep again , realised my 3.9 clasic is fine starting up running allday until it gets warm then when i start braking for lights or stopping it starts to cut out now ive been told it could possibley be a sticking choke ?? sound right to anyone as it only does it when warm and on braking sounds popssible to me any one else think this, checked for this white / black wire to no avail from the ecu ??so any help would be great as dont wanna get shafted by a garage for neg work done ?

There's no choke on your car. It could be that the engine coolant temp sender has seized. Is the car hard to start when hot?

can be yes hesistant sometimes and when cold rarely then thanks for that just shows what the nob head mechanic no`s

hi classicmac just another one to mull around you say it starts ok until warmed up and then plays up when braking have a look at the vacuum pipe to your servo if it has one check for an air leak also does it have a one way valve in the air pipe again thats if its got one tis a fault ive found in the past on several makes of car hope this helps

If the car has ABS, it can not be the brake servo or it's vacuum hose there - it does not have one.

A vacuum leak elsewhere is also a suitable candidate, but I'd check the engine coolant temp sender first.

mechanic was going of that it had an automatic choke thats all tim ......
as for the brakes it has abs yes
