    Default VN problem, car shutdown at lights and wont start again

    hey guys, last wednesday my vn just shut down (its auto) on idle at the lights.... it started again momentarily for 2 seconds or so but that was it...the past two days before that on idle there would be a loud vibration comming from either the engine bay or under the car but i couldnt see a problem but for some reason i dont think its related but just everything has happened in the past week. its now at the mechanics but maybe you may know what the problem is....

    Does your "Check Engine Light" appear?

    When it's working.. Does the car feel sluggish?
    Does it over-heat much?
    Is it chewing it's fuel badly?

    The Vibration may be your Exhaust Manifold.. Or, your engine mounts have sagged enuff to touch the Zorst mounts..
    If the Zorst manifold is damaged it's possible that can be your cause for Engine Stalling

    engine shaking may be to do with the electrical side of the engine. Coils, leads, plugs, CAS and ECU all play a part. Any start to fail the engine developes a missfire.
