when you start the engine and move off the engine is underpowered, then after a few kms, it looses all power to the engine, but only for a few seconds then resumes for a few seconds, then cuts out again. Each time it cuts out the taco stops working, even thou the engine is still turning but no power. This keeps happening until the engine cuts out completely for a few minutes then you have to restart the car. I need a electrical schematic of the car to tract the fault, I have checked all the electrical components on the engine, air flow censors, alternator, fuses, relays, throttle censor, ignition coils, cam censor, the only thing I have not changed is the CPU.send drawing to [Email removed] please

    Bbbind.com has free wiring diagrams. Maybe they'll help you get started.

    How about all your grounds---battery to frame, engine to frame, etc.

    You may need to have a scan tool on the car when the fault occurs, and this tool should have "freeze frame" capability.

    I have checked the engine grounds, but the fault is more temperature related or as the car is used the fault gets worse, thank you for your input, I have tried another ECU on car from same make model and year, with no results, the next option is auto leky, thank you.
