Serious Problem? Or something Simple?

[BoyBoy]

Hey guys...

I've recently had a few problems with my car, warped brakes, exhaust fell off, etc etc...

I got all this fixed and finally thought my car was sorted and i was happy as a clam...

I went for a road trip to leicester the other day (not for fun, a really boring wedding) Anyway! car was fine going there... and fine coming back... Until, 3 junctions away from home it starts raining, so i switch my wipers on, i hear a couple of random clicks from my glove box, sounds just like my indicator click, Then my engine light comes on... and then goes off, and comes on.. and goes off... and every time it comes on... my car slows down... as if its being starved of fuel... or something.

Today, i was driving to work, everything is fine, then all my lights on the dash come on as if i've stalled the car, but the engine is still running, so i start to pull off, and it feels as if I'm pulling off in fourth gear, yet in still in first... then all of a sudden the lights go off and my car shoots forward.

Has anyone got any idea's?

are my pipes clogged? my spark plugs not firing? Injector clogged? a major wiring fault? theres got to be something wrong with it. This isn't normal!

HELP!!!!:confused::(

Cheers

Chris

sounds like a short or a losse wire flapping around in the relays area, get it sorted asap mate - had a Cavalier diesels behave similarly, only to have it come to a head and catch fire during a rally (at which point we were going wrong direction so not good!). When we looked afterwards, the whole wiring loom had turned itself into one 2inch diameter cable!

i would whip the wiper relay box out, pull the housing off and have a gander inside.

i guess a track has blown or a component come out of place, similar thing happened to my rear window relay.

i think the cars manual tells you hich relay is for what, or try haynes
