ShawnTheMenace Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Recently purchased my 2nd Tan DA9 for the GF!! Its been running great up until today she calls me & says she was driving & the check engine light came on, acted like it wanted to die. She said she was slowing down anyways so she downshifted & everything was ok again until she came to a stop & it did it again, this time it actually did die.. She shut the key off & it started right back up & ran normal w/ no c/e lights! My thoughts are maybe the alternator or something along the same lines! ANY IDEAS???

airjordan223 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Could be the alternator. You can take the car to an advanced auto parts or similar store, and they can run all the checks for free and see if you need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
