92 9000 engine quit while driving?

Very likely it's the Direct Ignition (DI) cassette. The cassette is not reasonably repairable, but easily replaced. I think most people in this group have replaced the DI at one time or another. It should last about

I don't think this is at all related to the use of the cruise control as you seem to imply. Did you get any TCS light when you stalled?

Thanks

I will not blame the cruise control until many further tests. Just noticed the two times it happened the cruise control was on. Next time I will turn it off and see if it comes back.

TCS light is on permanently. Previous two owners (seller knows previous owner) replaced everything in the TCS. Light will not go out but everything works.

I hear if TCS is bad, it goes into limp home mode. This car is definately not in that mode!

A friend of mine as a 900 SPG which has the airbag light on and they could never get it fixed so he has a piece of tape over it.

I suspect you are right. Do these things fail and leave you sit? Should I carry a spare?

hi i have a 1992 9000 cd 2.3 turbo 5spd (parts car) with a good DI and all good parts and if you need anything just let me know at snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com thanks

and i think it might be the throttle body

Yes, I used to have a 92 turbo, and it most definitely went into limp home mode any time the TCS light activated as a consequence of an emissions system fault. But, if your TCS light is always on, it may be that the intermittent faults are occurring but you can't tell because the light is already on.

When it does go into limp home, the engine will easily stall. But your description of cutting out does sound more like the dreaded DI cassette failure problem than a limp home mode issue.

You may be able to extract some codes from the ECU by following these directions:

Update:

I reset the ACC and now it seems to be working. I think the front outside air temp sensor is still not working, though. It does show there is a fault. Is this something I should replace or just live with it?

When we first got it the Info screen under the tach/speedometer worked and did give an error on one item, probably at the outside air temp.

Now, the info screen is dead. Suggestions? I cannot get it to come on. I read the manual and tried to reset it, no luck.

And also (pickey, pickey) the little green illumination light in the console box (similar to that in the glove box) does not work, even after replacing the bulb.

Hand brake acts like it works but the car still moves. Suggestions welcome! Is this a common problem with a common fix?

Where to get a reasonable price on headlight wipers and blades for same?

For DI Module (mine might be failing...)

Is there a Bently manual for this? It came with a Haynes which seems almost totally useless.

Thanks,

Charles.
