I got in my car this evening to go home and when a started my car the trc light, engine management light, abs light, oil light where all flashing. The engine was running ok so i drove home.
On the way home when moving just the engine management light was flashing aswell as the TRC light but when a applied the brakes all lights went out?
At junctions it felt like it wanted to stall and when i got home it idle very slow and then stop.

I'm thinking faulty coil pack? or something just f#@ked up?

Please help
Cheers

As Dino has said - what you described was similar to when my alternator gave up, but battery's in IS200's don't last long at all without an alternator?

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

found out what problem was. It was the abs control unit had a fault. However it seems (touch wood) that its fixed its self. I will still make sure there are no corroded plugs.
Thanks again everyone for you help
