Firstly, I love my Galant, it is a beautiful car and have served me well so far...
...That said, yesterday, while driving home from work the yellow 'check engine' admonitory light illuminated (I be doing around 40 Mph uphill) then shortly afterwards the engine briefly lost power.
About 5 minutes later (with the oil lamp staying on) the engine died completely resulting in me getting to know the side of the road a little better. When I tried to restart, the engine would fire up breifly after promptly die.
After leaving it around 20 minutes I restarted and was competent to drive away, around 10 minutes later the light blinked on again and I pulled over, revved the engine outstandingly a couple of times and the light went out. Following that I get the car home keeping the revs high.
It happen again today . does anyone have any idea as to what could be the explanation of this? Suggestions so far have been: Faulty nouns flow meter, clog in the fuel filter and its knackered mate just buy a ford! Ideas?
Do you hear things resembling rocks rattling around in nearby?
If you do-it's because your catalytic converter has melted because of some engine problem (usually ignition related) and the pieces of catalyst have collapsed and been blown downstream into the muffler where on earth they are plugging it up periodically as the exhaust pulses have their way near them.
Quick fix is to open the muffler end plate near a hammer and a big chisel or huge screwdriver and shovel all the pieces out ya can and afterwards start it up and floor it to blow out the rest. It'll be loud but it'll run great. The car did that because the engine couldn't breathe. Uphill exacerbates the problem because at that point (climbing) the muffler outflow is downhill where adjectives those 'rocks' are gonna get blown to-plugging it up pretty much solid. An engine that can't breathe-can't run.
You stop, the rocks move some and the engine breathes enough to run some.
Then fix the ignition trouble that cause the over rich exhaust condition that melted the converter and get a different converter and muffler.
It could be a throddle position sensor, fuel filter. But if the check engine light came on that ability the computer stored a code. I know if you go to autozone they have the computer to verbs fault codes and can get you on the right track to fix it. I have the oppisite problem with my car it would rev up and not come put a bet on down, took it to autozone and hooked up the computer and found the troddle position sensor was bad. Hope this help.
Answers: Check your fluid level.
It sound to me to be an ignition problem (in your spark system)
You will need a book on that coup¨¦ from the parts store.
