donna2 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hello,I'm new to forums so hopefully worked this part out(trying again lol)Thank you and any advise is appreciated,please bear with me for replying etc,slow phone and unsure on site navigation yet...If anyone is handy with car electrics,i have a problem with my car,sometimes the engine management light pops on for a few seconds(then goes back out) and then the car either kangaroos or loses power,then picks back up,if it doesnt affect that then it turns the stereo off and back on,I was thinking it maybe has something to do with the after market stereo thats been put in as the date on the digital clock/date/temp goes off once the car is turned over,abit strange i know and quite difficult to explain,but if anyone can shed some light on this problem,it may help,thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
