Hi there,
Car: 89 740GL KM: 175,000 KM
problem: Driving on a city street, not going too fast then felt the car shake a little.. Continued to drive and then felt the car shake a minute later again but this time, the check engine light comes on immediately after the shake ->car dies.
Tried to restart right away and failed. Sat there for about 3 min, then tried restarting and it was good to go. Check Engine light remained on. I took it to my mechanic and explained to him what happend. He thought for a second and said a few possible problems causing this. I left the car for him to check. Went to pick up car and he said he replaced the fuel pump relay. Is this possible solution? I don't want to find out the hard way that this is not the solution!!
I feel nervous when I drive the car now even after the repair did not fix the problem. I just worry it will die suddenly again. I drive on the curb lane, and my heart starts to pound when I make a left turn.. worried that it will die in the middle and end up blocking 4 lanes of traffic :(
