Yesterday I left the shops, turned left and somewhere between the top of the hill and the bottom, I lost power to the car which was only noticeable when I went to turn the corner and was met with dead weight. Went to turn car back on and it just kept cranking but not firing up. Tried a couple of times but nothing doing. Took key out and waited and still nope.
The RAC come out and jumpstarted as battery was a little low. Battery and the alternator were tested cos both newish and they tested fine. Car started and seemed fine until I went to take off where made it half way out car bay before car stopped and refused to start at all. RAC then done a scan for codes but nothing was showing up. Tow truck was organised to take it home.
Attach our own scanner which is admittedly a cheapy job and a heap of codes come up which was weird considering RAC's come up blank.
At one stage while trying to start it up at home, the speedo went up to max speed, alerts come up with overspeed and brakes- the car was stationery at the time. The times I did get the car started, it would run for about 5 minutes before it would just conk out again.
I know it's impossible to diagnose from a post but has anyone else had this issue or any idea what it could relate to ie electrical, etc.
PS, did swap out the fuel pump relay and fuel pump is only around 6 months old
