Fb15 Engine Problem

[Pethum85]

Hi friends,

I have a FB 15 YOM 99. It has clocked 86 whicih is genuine cos i am the first owner. Today in the evening when i started my car all of a sudden there was a huge jerk ( ABS button lit up for couple of seconds and went off). Then i accelerated a bit and i when i released the pedal the engine stopped. Then i started again and it was knocking for some time and i could see the rpm wobbling. It was steady when i put AC and i drove it for 5 or 6 kms and it was looking ok and i could feel the car not pulling properly.

I am a bit worried, is it the sensor? Would a normal engine tune up fix the problem? I would highly appreciate on any comments. Thank you very much

Remove the battery cable for several hrs or ever night (expert says 15min is enough) and see. if you havent done a tune up for the last 25000KM, then better do.
