156 Issue - power loss and battery light on
Guys
I have a 156 v plate 2.0 litre twin spark. SInce i have owned it this occurs more and more. When you are driving it sometimes it looses power and feels like it might stall (random occasions) and the battery light blickers on (and sometimes other lights abs etc) Anyone any ideas? James |

I'm not how relevant this is but I had a similar problem with my '76
cortina, intermittent drops in power (both electrical and horsepower) whilst driving, it turned out to be the voltage regulator mounted on the back of the alternator. Regan |

I'd think it was something related to the alternator e.g. the voltage
regulator etc. Could be why the battery light blinks too. The others are blinking due to a lack of sufficient electrical voltage too.

I had a similar problem with my JTD. In my case it was the main battery that needed replacing, it was just past its best and the voltage was dropping off. Check too that the connections to the battery are secure, I had mine back from service once and they had not tightened the connection up causing it to cut out. > > jimbo wrote: > > Guys > > I have a 156 v plate 2.0 litre twin spark. > > SInce i have owned it this occurs more and more.

Had that on the wife's GTV 2.0TS - She told me the RAC man hit the idle valve to unstick it - never happened again in the 6 months before we parted with it. |
