628, Engine Woes - sort of... Posted by Kahn, Apr-13-01 03:42 PM
Okay, as of recent my car has been misbehaving. Last night I went to start it - it would start then stall, (I did this 3 times before I started it then revved it - idled fine. Today, was driving home, and my radio keeps cutting in and out, losing power and regaining it. I turn off the car, and go to turn it back to accessorie to play with the radio - no juice. I open the hood, and check the battery - and get back in - the car starts. But here is the clincher - I decided to see what happens if you start without the clutch in (its not supposed to) and it just starts. Now, I get alternator whine intermittently, I still have one month left of warranty so I am thinking about taking it in to be checked out - any advice guys??? thanks.

if your accessories are cuttin out, it sounds like an alternator problem,,(or belt or pulley),,,the stalling sounds like the car is only running off the power from the battery not the alternator, had experience with this in another car,, it was cause from the idler pulley falling off,,took 3 batteries to get from michigan to ohio!
