problem regarding capasitor

[dummy7]

i hav jus installed a capasitor( dunno wat brand), to support my sony 4 channel amp. and d amp is driving a set of component set, and a 12" kicker woofer. my car will break down( d "check engine" will turn on) each n everytime my car went on high rpm. and it jus couldn't start on d spot. strangely, it can start after some times, like 2-3hours, o after a day... took out d capasitor, n my car has no problem. anyone facing d same problem? can some audio "sifus" give oppinion? i'm driving wira sedan, transplanted 2 mitsubishi 4g91.

thanx 4 ur reply. i hav asked a few foreman, n a few accesories shop, different ppl different opinion. i also blur. dun think i wanna put my car in workshop for a few days for complete wiring check, coz nt very familiar with any workshop here. jus to check wit you olskolboyz, does d ground wire of d power cap affect d ECU if connected wrongly?

capasitor can be malfunction & suck power from battery & alternator... when car electrical demand more power but battery & alternator could not supply at time your car will shut off loorr

make sure ur stock grounding still strong enuf...my fren just burn his ford ecu after he installed ICE....tot is the ecu problem so opted for a chopshop unit....driving without ICE is ok, once turn on the amp/woofer...car suddenly die off n cant start anyway..

send to workshop...mechanic change the car stock grounding to bigger one n pull one extra grounding direct to ecu...now is ok oledi...
