97 Daihatsu Electrical Problems

Forum: 

Hi ALL

Have 97 Charade - had it for four years now..just after i purchased it - i experienced problems where it (at any time of day) would just keep stalling. It was so random and would even cut out during driving... have to keep the revs really high so it doesn't stall... I took it back to the dealer 4 times and they could find nothing wrong... all of a sudden it cleared up..

Now a few years later it has started doing it again..my mechanic says it is something electrical ..but i don't want to get ripped oof.... want to have some idea of what it may be!! Can anyone help - need to get this problem fixed...

When it stalls...it tries really hard to stay alive..and by reving it it will stay alive...as soon as you stop...it just dies!! very sad!

Now - I'm in australia - sorry for intruding but i need some help!

Cheers Michelle

If it just cleared up, I woul

If it just cleared up, I would seriously doubt it's electrical.

BUT it would be well worth changing the distributor cap, rotor arm, plugs and leads for starters. These are the usual culprits.
