SFA won't stop (4Y)

Post by Gerrie »

Hi, I will probably swing by Hoppy's this afternoon to have it looked at, but I have a slight problem with my bakkie and I'm curious as to what the problem could be?
It started on Saturday-evening after I did some dashboard-maintenance earlier the day. I went to park the bakkie in the garage and after I parked it, the engine would not stop running. Even after I switched off the ignition, pulled out the keys and everything, it would not stop. I eventually had to 'ruk hom dood' in gear by dropping the clutch.
This is a bit of a problem, but hopefully not something big. Anybody else experience this with their 4Y's? Could it be a fuse? (I blew some earlier the day when I connected the radio wrong?)

What type of dashboard maintenance did you do? Did you work on the ignition wiring?

How does your ignition switch feel? Maybe it is a bit worn.

Ja. It stops sooner now. Whenever I have driven a bit, the problem seems to go away. It is only apparent when I cold start and move it into the garage.

Sal ons nou so in Engels onderhandel! Die Hoppy plan klink goed! Dit is net snaaks, vir die enjin om te loop moet jy vuur hê. Dit word deur jou ignition beheer. "Dieseling" sal ook net gebeur as die enjin warm is. Hoor maar wat sê die experts.

Dieseling / pre-ignition would not carry on for too long ... would die out in a few seconds. Would also run very roughly and misfiring while it was happening. Is this what is happening?

If it runs on smoothly then it sounds like there is still ignition to the coil ...... like a faulty ignition relay. :think:

Dit lyk vir my of die probleem net daar is as die enjin koud is. En hy hou aan idle... ek het nou nog nie probeer kyk hoe lank dit is nie, want dit maak my bietjie bang om die bakkie te laat idle sonder die sleutel in die ignition. As die bakkie warmer is en ek het 'n entjie gery, is dit omtrent net 'n halwe sekonde voordat hy doodgaan nadat ek hom afgesit het. Het iemand anders al so probleem gehad? Kan dit net 'n relay switch wees wat 'n bietjie vol nonsens is?

Sal bietjie daarna kyk, thanks. Maar kan dit steeds so werk dat die bakkie afskakel as hy 'n entjie gery het, maar nie afskakel as hy nog koud is (net uit die garage uit getrek het) nie?
