[s-cars] Engine stopping problem -- Starting Issue

Mikka,

    The sound you are hearing is either:
(A) The starter relay -- it's not getting enough power to kick over all
the way
and may be on it's way out;
(B) The starter not turning over and throwing out the bendix gear
correctly; OR
(C) The fuel pump in action.

When you turn over the key, does it start right up as well as making
this sound,
or is it a case of the engine not wanting to start when it makes this
sound?

Cheers

Mikka WROTE:

I'm having annoying "feature" in my urS4 (-92). After driving some
time, engine just shutdowns. I just had my car serviced and two
sensors where replaced, one was RPM sensor and other one was some
ignition timing sensor or something like that.

When engine stops and I try to restart, I hear "tick tick tick tick"
sound. Sounds like relay switching on/off but I'm not sure if it comes
from the relays. Could this be key switch malfunctioning somehow?
