First real problem with my Mirage... (Engine losing power suddenly. Update- solved)

[Fummins]

Do other people have the same response from the engine?
If not, it may be a tail light wire that's grounded or so?

Which response,
Driving with feet on the brake and throttle? Yes they all do that.
I also recall seeing a mirage or two with both brake lights burnt out have abs and or traction control warning lights come on along with random loss of throttle. Took a minute to figure that out.

Not the halogens. Halogens are headlight bulbs. This was the rear lights. I had one taillight and both brake lights out at various points, but I am not sure what combination of bulb failures actually caused the malfunction. The high-mount brake light was still working.

A sticking brake pedal is also a possibility I am considering, but replacing the bulbs seems to have alleviated the problem.

Halogen just refers to the type of bulb, not the location of them. They're used from our headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and even dome light. Your high mount tail light is typically referred to as the 3rd brake light, and that would be the only LED lights on most Mirages.
I've also got the same issue, and this was right after installing LED tail light bulbs. Still haven't gone back to halogen, though. 😅

Halogen tail light bulbs do exist, but I seriously doubt the Mirage comes from the factory with them. It does, however, come from the factory with halogen headlights.

He knows exactly what you meant and is technically correct. There can be a lot of nit picking, trolling and swollen heads(dick swinging) around here, don't take offence.
I do want to see your pics of the your projector headlights on a different thread.

Definitely not trying to nitpick or troll, just making sure he knew it didn't just pertain to headlight bulbs. A quick Google search shows many applications for halogen bulbs.


On the other hand, do I still have to use a host like Photobucket to create and attach photos? It's been years since I've posted on a forum.
