you could get a scan gauge 2, a great trip computer that also reads trouble codes and clears them, if needed. if you're getting a trouble code, a local dealer could tell you what needs to be repaired/serviced.

Luisdanos un poco mas detalles, se apaga despues de caliente, frio, siempre? que, si algo le has modificado, entre mas nos digas mas podemos desechar como el principal problema..

lo mejor que puedes hacer es comprar un Scangauge II, este aparato te "lee" los codigos dianosticos del cpu del carro, ademas de darte tambien otra informacion como temperatura, revoluciones, mph o kph.. enfin es bueno tenerlo. En tu caso, al conectarlo te va ha dar varios codigos como anuncio de problemas que el computador CPU ha visto. con estos puedes mirar en varios sitios en el web o atraves de un dealer que significan. Ya sea un mal contacto, una chispa mala, en fin hay varias cosas que puede ser tu problema ya que el sintoma desaparece al enfriar el carro. Yo me hiria por algun contacto a tierra que esta calentandose con el carro handando y accionando algun sistema de prevencion en el CPU cortando electricidad o chispa al motor. De paso tu dices que el carro se apaga.. se apaga electronicamente? hace ruidos como que se queda sin gasolina? o se ahoga como si se le tapara la entrada de aire?

O compre a un lector de código. Son más baratos que a "scanguage". Creo yo vie uno para $89 en Advanced Auto Parts. Y como dijeron, toma su Smart a un mecánico, ellos lo tienen el equipo para leer los códigos.

Si, puedes ir a cualquier mecanico pero te cobran por hacer un diagnostico.. Al comprar el Scangauge, haces el diagnostico tu y te quedas con un buen aparato que te brinda cientos de usos mas....
De paso cuando fue la ultima vez que le cambiaste la batteria a la llave? ten en mente que la llave tiene un chip que si la ignicion no detecta su señal, apaga el auto. Trata usar el carro con la otra llave, la segunda que le dan a uno al comprarlo... de pronto esto es el problema. Y por ultimo, Al apagarse el carro, la luz del interior sirve? puede ser un corto en las conecciones de la bateria.

smart 2001.... a 450 with 698cc turbo engine?
Not sure what the ScanGauge may show or even plug into the OBD port of that vintage.
Evilution FAQ:
"My smart has started cutting out while driving, is there a fix?
The 2 main culprits are loose battery connections or a loose fuse. As most RHD smarts didn't come with a fuse box cover it is easy for the passenger to knock them with their feet. Tighten the battery connection and reseat all the fuses."

I believe all cars from mid 90s and up have a OBD port..

Yep... I read somewhere that all cars sold in the USA were supposed to be fitted with an OBD port after 1995... but a 2001 smart was never sold in the USA (unless it was special import) ?
The ScanGauge is not fully compatible with some of the earlier OBD codes; so I have no idea how useful it would be on a 2001 vintage 450.
After discovering the loose battery connection recently, mine now seems to be running leaner from a cold start... that smelly, rich exhaust seems to have cleared out. The exhaust tailpipe is being monitored to see if the black soot clears out... smarts need Volts.

There is something odd about the diesel smart not being available in all markets.
In Australia we seem to have all the SUV diesels (including diesel Jeeps!) plus the new crop of small French diesel cars and the VW's... but not the smart. We don't ...
I have Yakima bars and bike racks that I bought in the US; so when I looked on the Yakima site a while back, I found the Q Towers... full of enthusiasm, I contacted Yakima and was told they cannot ship outside of the US. So I'm stuck in Australia ...

that is a pretty big disappointment because where I live the electric car is not a very efficient vehicle with it only getting 80 miles to a charge. And my understanding the diesel is getting 90 miles to a gallon.
From what I have heard & read, the diesel will not be coming to the US. We will get the ED (electric drive) within a year if everything goes as planned.
