just a few days ago my car started dying while i drive. I didnt drive it for a while because my radiator was leaking so this problem came out of nowhere. I should note that before i parked it because of the radiator leak, my battery died because i left the headlights on. ive killed my battery about 4 times before this because of the same reason. Do you guys think that the culprit is the battery? The car idles fine btw. It only dies when i'm driving

i had a similar issue with mine when i first picked my car up in vancouver. it would idle fine but would hesitate in gear under load so i kept my foot light on the throttle the whole way until i got home. i was worried that i received a 'lemon'. but all it needed was new spark plugs and then the car was able to rev to redline. and boy my first time experiencing that really put a nice big smile on my face but first, i'd test the spark plug wires with a multimeter or ohmmeter for resistance just to be sure. if they're above 25 kilo-ohms, then there's your problem because there's too much resistance to transmit the spark to the plugs. if the wires are ok, then try replacing the plugs. mine doesnt hesitate in gear when i press the gas at all.. It revs to 3k with no problems.. it just dies out of nowhere |
