Greetings,
Not sure what happened here. Out of the blue last night driving home. Fortunately, I was about 1 mile from home, I was traveling at about 40 mph, accelerating up a shallow incline under light load, to about 50 mph.
The engine just shut off. No warning, no sputtering, nothing. Not from an idle either. It was while I was accelerating. I still had full electrical power and all accessories were still functional. The green information display went orange, and displayed a wrench.
As I started to pull over to the side of the road, I shifted into neutral, and restarted the car. It started without issue and has been fine since. I've only driven 5 miles since it happened.
Car has approx 95 k miles on it. I've had it since 63 k miles. No recent work at all (new tires 2 months ago). No recent fill-up. I was about 225 miles into my last tank of fuel, still had 1/3 tank on the gauge. I did an OBDII scan this morning, full I/M readiness set, no enhanced codes, one ABS code.
Anyone?
Thanks...
<Sarcasm on> Oh lucky me. I just found this..... </Sarcasm off>
