hello to everybody, i am from italy, sorry for my bad language.
i own a Del Sol vti, and from a months ago i have a problem.
the engine on turns off.
ok i try to explain better.
at engine hot, not cold, for example this problem is when i go back at home
and turn off the engine and turn on again once garage open.
turn the key, check inspection is ok, turn off the yellow led of inspection,
and you listen the sound of relais when the check inspection is ended, so
now you turn the key to turn on the engine.
the engine starts perfectly but for a second, after a second turns off.
now... i turn off the key and turn on the key and yellow led of check
inspection is ok, but this time there is not the sound of relais (sound like
: tick)
if there is not the sound of relais i am sure the engine doesn't start
again.
i have to wait 4 or 5 minuts and relais will start again to do his job and
the engine will start again normally.
it seams that all the problem is connected to the function of this relais
hoping to listen his sound.
sometime the sound of the relais is ok but the engine doens't start in every
way too... the only solution is to wait for 4 or 5 minuts.
i repeat... the engine starts ok normally but it will turn off after one or
two seconds.

You need to replace or repair the MAIN RELAY. There are many articles in
this newsgroup, or look for 'main relay' at www.tegger.com. It is caused
by poor solder connections, which get worse when temperature under the
dash rises. Hitting the dash with your hand will make the relay click if
you don't hear it.

Curly parla la verità. Il relè principale ("PGM-FI Main Relay")
deve essere riparato.

thanks Curly, and thanks TeGGer, then this is the problem : the main relay.
i will find old articles in this NG.
i hope the problem is only this, i love my car and i conserve it in a very
very lovely way and i could kill for her :-)
ok, i thank you again, you are very kind.
if you want, this is the section of my site dedicated to my Del Sol and our
little spider-meeting : http://www.psqadpdk.com/crx-intro.htm
push the bottons on the left and on the right, there are not more links :-)
