Is there by any chance you're using non-standard plugs? 900

Hi,

"After a few short trips during the day, on a final errand the car was running fine for about a mile after a warm start when the engine completely died and all panel lights came on"


Are you using Bosch copper plugs, preferably the ones suited for turbo? Non-standard plugs may foul easily especially on doing short trips. One precaution is not to use Bosch Platinum plug - the first generation type which has its centre platinum electrode embedded within the porcelain tip. This plug's tip may foul with carbon which results in weak spark and non-start condition.

Amarin.
