Car cuts out while driving
My friend's 2000 EM1 has started cutting out while driving. He has a b20vtec with a chipped p75 ecu w/chrome.
Now he experiences this 90% when taking a turn with a little spunk, he also went over a heavy bump on the highway and experienced the same thing. The car seems like the clutch is slipping but the RPMs drop completely and the radio dies (but strangely the dash lights stayed on). The car come back right after the RPMs drop.
We tried to re-create the environment under which the problem occurs, so we took some turns and gave her moderate gas, and it did it again.
Checked the grounds, no CELS, fuel filter has about 8k on it same with wire and spark plugs are even less. Car is maintained so oil level is perfect. We thought we MIGHT have heard a clicking on the left side of the dash but werent sure. Possibly the main relay?
TIA
