jswilliams Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I've got a 1996 e7 330 that has started cutting off over and over. Cranks back up fine without hesitation but right away it cuts back off . Any ideas on what this could be? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Are you getting a shut down light? Oil pressure/coolant levels are normal? Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswilliams Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 I was getting a shutdown light and didn't realize low coolant would keep it from running. I topped off the reservoir and so far it's running fine. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswilliams Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Spoke to soon. It's cutting off again. Electronic malfunction and engine shutdown lights coming on. Tried to bypass coolant level sensor w a paper clip but I don't know if that's even possible. Any other things i need to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 If you have a multimeter you could check the resistance (ohms) of the various sensor and confirm them against know parameters....which i dont have, maybe if you ask the techs nicely they will help....lolSome one else may have other methods.....

j_martell Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 F***.....check blink codes......ignition on, motor running or off, cruise switch off, press and hold set/resume button till the CEL starts to blink.....count the blinks, there will be a pause in the code, that the break ex: X-X Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

jswilliams Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I finally started unplugging sensors and it just so happened that I started with one on the oil filter base and it cured the problem. Been running fine ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Check your fuse in the fuse panel. I think # 22 but not sure. Happened in my 96 RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
