Engine dies w/ lights on
This kind of stuff has to happen on a Monday...
I started the 914 this morning, no problems, starts right up like always. But as I backed up, I pulled the lights on and the engine cut out. I went to restart the car, and I got nothing. The fuel pump would not run and the starter would not turn.
I grabbed my test light and checked the battery, it had a charge, how much, I couldn't say, but it lit the test light. I got back in the car and turned the key to run the pump, it ran, so I turned the key to start. The engine started, and I went for my lights again. The engine died again. Same drill, wait, wait, curse, wait, curse, check fuel pump, negative, curse, wait, check watch, wait, curse, check fuel pump, good, start engine, drive off w/out lights (didn't need them by then anyway).
When I got to work, before turning off the engine, I flipped on the lights, and, you guessed it, the engine died.
Any thoughts?
