Sooner or later each driver can get to a situation when the car several instants ago submitting to all commands, suddenly ceases to react to pressing of a pedal of "gas", and on the instrument panel red sparks light up. The engine has ceased to work, the car loses speed. What to do in such situation? The most important thing – be not nervous! Include the alarm system, squeeze out a pedal of coupling and, using inertia of the car, try to move cautiously to edge проезжей parts and to stop as it is possible more to the right at a roadside and if it is possible – outside of проезжей parts.

THE PREVENTION Consider that at the idle engine efficiency of brake system of the car decreases and for braking can be demanded большее effort to a brake pedal.

Check up, whether on a place all wires, whether is not present torn off, burnt down, with the damaged isolation. Examine petrol hoses, топливопровод the engine and the fuel filter – whether is not present gasoline smudges?

THE PREVENTION If leaks gasoline, at all do not start up the engine before full elimination of malfunction!

Examine a broad tank of system of cooling – whether the cooling liquid has flowed out. Check up also oil level in картере the engine. If everything is all right, start check of system of ignition and the power supply system which is described earlier.
