Default New member with a problem

With my 1989 I will be going down the highway & the engine will just suddenly stop running. After getting of the road & waiting a few minutes the engine can be restarted. This has happened numerous times & there is a time duration of 2-3 weeks or as long as 4 months before there is a reoccurence.

This vehicle is not a daily driver. It is used for fun excursions & other point to point travels. I assume if I used the vehicle more frequently the problem would also be increased by the amount of usage.

I've checked the MAF unit & other components & all appear to be OK.
Fuel isn't the problem & all electrical items appear to be OK. It's been suggested that the MAF relays could be a potential problem. Can anyone confirm this suggestion?

Has anyone had any experience of this kind & may have a different resolve?

Any assistance would be appreciated................TomT328

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!! Enjoy.

You need to go over to the C4 General Forum and ask the guys who know those cars the best. Good luck.
