Car looses power
Im driving a 20 year old Nissan Skyline which lost power randomly recently. We were driving along and my stereo started flashing and then died. Shortly after the engine cut out but the lights still worked. Tried to start it and it made a ticking noise and wouldn't turn over. Next day it started up no probs we drove took it for a 10 minute drive where it sat for about 2 hours and then another 10 minute drive and it lost power again and the engine died and the ticking noise was back.
A new igniton was fitted on 25th March 09. The alternator got wet on the 20th April and the power cut off started just recently. I wonder if the alternators not charinging the battery? Can getting it wet shorten it out? Apparently all the bearings etc are all good in the alt? Maybe its something to do with the igntiion?
Going to take the battery to be tested tomorrow any other chat would be useful
