Hi,
My girlfriend recently bought the car listed above used and it is doing something strange.
The car drives fine, but every time the engine is just idling (for example at stop lights) and the radiator fan turns on, the car shudders and the engine switches off. It doesn't seem to happen if the car is actually moving, just stationary at idle. It feels almost like it is using too much power to keep the engine running when the fan engages. I truly hope this isn't an electrical fault. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Is there any chance it could be something simple like a sensor, fuse or relay?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
