Another Captiva with Electrical issues
Seems like this is a common thread. But I keep reading through them and can't figure out the fix. Standard happening. The car while going down the road will loose power, often when a demand is asked ie accelerating. The lights and everything will flicker. At a stop, so far, the car will suddenly loose all power. Keys will get stuck in the ignition, then like magic the car will return to life. We have replaced the cables, battery, alternator, starter and another solenoids. But it continues. The dealership says bring it in and IF we can get it to duplicate, they will try and determine the cause. The problem is it is so random. Does anyone have the fix? This is getting stupid!!!!
I had similar issues. If I get into completed stop the engine drop power. Its having difficult good mixing fuel and air.
I used BG products to clean air intake, fuel pump and line using in-fuel mixture and GDI cleaner. It resolved a lot of the problems but maybe the catalyst converter was damaged from lean/rich combustions or some sensors are in need for replacement. Also checking spark plugs.
