Need some serious help with my 8!!!
Ok so my 8 is in a bad concdition now!! and i need your help too helping me fix it i would appreciate it so much!!
Soo i think it all started when my sunvisor wires touched when i was taking it off! Now i have no light in the car,no light on the radio and it doesnt work at all now!! Fuses?
Also before that the car will not start with the key it will show everything but wont turn on with key and all the needles on the dash will go to the end fast and come back too normal?..i have too hold the clutch sensor thats by the clutch and turn the key so the car turns on...and also when i turn the key off theres a click sound in the engine.. starter maybe?
another thing is the car dies at idle only when it reaches temperature at cold its normal *** soon as it reaches hot it will die i have to hold the gas pedal too keep it alive! i used to mix gas before with regular gas and premium could it be the fuel pump? any help would help me fix the car *** it used too be
thanks for lookin hope anyone could help... and i did search but couldnt really find much

Arrgh. Well the one big thing that stands out is that it dies when hot. Compression?
Visor wires,, You blew a fuse. Find it and change it. Check the fuse locations as per your owners manual.
Clutch switch is not adjusted correctly or faulty. Adjust it/Replace it.
"Click sound",,, No idea.
Regular and Premium mix,,,, Why?

On the "click" point.... there is an audible "click" with every 8 that I've seen when you turn off the key. I'm not sure which solenoid/relay it is that is shutting, but it's there. Maybe this is what you are referring to?
