924s 1988 cut out after bumpy section

Post by mikseymono »

Hi all!
Don't normally drive for more than 30 mins in any one direction really but son wanted to turn up to party in it today....fair enough....so gave it a good blast out. It cut out after 1hr of driving in a particularly downhill, twisty, bumpy road. I wasn't going more than 30 mph though. The last time this happened I seem to remember it was the DME relay that had lost a connection on the back of the domino relay holder. I coasted off a roundabout, parked up and looked at engine and then wiggled the DME relay and then it started up. I'm safely back home but will have a good look tomorrow. I suspect it is the DME relay again.
Just a question on the DME relay........if it looses connection will the engine just shut off?!
Thanks,
M
