Car died today, here's what happened...
The Check engine light came on but the car was running fine, a few blocks later the tacho went wacko and then went to zero. I was a bit alarmed but the engine was still running fine so I continued. I stopped at a light a few blocks later and the car stalled, I started it back up and it ran fine, when I pulled away from the light the motor bogged and had like zero power, and before long it was sputtering and dead.
WTF?
I was on the way to a party so I left the car and called for a ride. What should I check first when I go look at it tomorrow?
I checked the fault code and it was a 1231 (Battery voltage/DME main relay)
Did I just fry the DME relay? please help me :(
