TVR Chimaera cutting out at speed
Discussion
Hi,
After a long overhaul due to a rotten chassis my Chimaera is back on the road. She does seem to have created an issue with cutting out at speed. Bumps are not a problem, it seems to happen randomly. The engine seems to stop for an instance shuddering the car (and giving me shivers). It has also cut out once for a longer time and while rolling I managed to rock the engine by a gear change and it came back to life, preventing a hard-shoulder stop.
What could it be? Coolant temperature sensor? Worn ignition coil? Mass inertia problem?
Cheers,
Wouter

Hi,
It is a quick stutter while cruising. And it has cut down twice, once able to recover with a gearchange and the other time on the side of a b-road after some fiddling and a reset of the ecu. It has started a few weeks ago on a trip to Germany. On the way back the roadspeed sensor has come loose. Poly bushes and hardly maintained Autobahn are, even at decent speeds, a bad combo.
Thanks for the advice both :-)
