EZ-E Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have found what causes my ignition shut off on my car, an 82 280 ZX turbo. Well for some reason, whether it be cold or warm, when the car gets to a certain temperature, I would say about 50-60 degrees ambient, the relay will start to click and I have no ignition, the car shuts off but fuel is till there. If I try to start the car, I will still have spark. Now the first relay in this chain, is the relay under the hood inside that little compartment that is in the fender behind the battery. I have found no shorts, no opens and nothing that would cause this to short, I have used dialetric grease to coat the connections, and sprayed the wires with silicone to no avail. The next relay is inside the car, it is located up under the dash, on the passenger side, it is above the fuse box and up above and behind a area where there are several, leads that connect into a block so to speak. Both relays are 6 prong and are green in color. Now this will not always happen but usually does and its been getting worse lately, once the car is warm, it will be fine till it cools down again. Anyone know what tis is or have a clue as to what Im talking about.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
