Scared for my baby 6.

[Dozyproductions]

I need to get your opinion on this guys and just to start things off I don't have the time to fix the car myself, and at the moment its at a shop which is closed for the weekend. Ill use the excuse that I have work 12 hours everyday for the next like 3 weeks and it starts at like 3 in the morning so I only have time for sleep and work.

So for the past couple of months I'll be driving the car and lets say in 2nd and 3rd gears at 3k rpm< and all of a sudden it seems like the car just turns on and instantly back on... When thats happening the car lunges pretty violently and all the lights on the gauge cluster come on for a half second.

This has only happened like 3 times but thats 3 times too many. I'll add that I know that I need to have my timing belt changed really soon.You guys have any clue whats going on? THanks.

If all of the cluster lights come on when the car looses power I'd suspect a problem with the ignition switch or primary power connections.

My car did that a few times when I first got it, and I replaced the DME and Fuel Pump relays, and have not had a problem since.

Thanks guys. At least I got some place to start looking.

Check your battery and alternator connections carefully to ensure they're clean and tight.

Will do. I might be able to get to my car today so we will see!

first thing to swap is the main relay
