Good day gentlemen/ladies
I had a bit of a scare whilst driving on the highway at approx 100 kmh. The car stalled/ switched off. I was off throttle and when I tried accelerating ...nothing. I pulled off onto the emergency lane , turned the ignition off, selected park and tried starting The car started on the 4th attempt. I have replaced the turbo control valve. The MAF sensor might be a culprit, but I suspect the gearbox position sensor( inhibitor switch). My reasoning : the gearbox on startup goes into winter mode. I rectify this by engaging gears , letting the oil settle a bit. (gearbox has been flushed and oil changed) This problem has been with me a while. Is the inhibitor switch the same as the PNP switch ? Could this cause the ECU to switch the car off ? P.s the car is a 1994 850 T5 auto Thank you
