Driving to work this morning. Clear day (2 C - 35 F). Going about 80kph and the car just died. Engine light came on (oil and battery light to - just like you turned the key off) and the car kept moving. No noise no nothing. I glided to the side of the road and sat for two minutes. Moved it to park and tried starting it. It started no problem (no sputtering or anything) and no Check Engine Light. Drove back home and 1/2 there going about 50kph and the same thing happened. This time I put it in neutral (still moving of course) and started it up (it started fine). Then back into drive and kept going. No problems after that.

I suspect it may be an electical problem but I am unsure. I have had some problems that if the distributor gets wet it won't start. But this seems like a different problem. It just dies and I can restart.

Any Thoughts?

 

Any help on this? My car did the same thing while slowing down for a light on the highway. Car just died but started back up.

 

You may need to replace your ignition harness. I've seen this problem many times B4. Pull your harness out of the key section & check the contact's & see if the are worn. That may be your problem.

 

Cool, I'll check that tomorrow! Any other things to check also?
