It just happen two days ago. While driving back to Camp Lejuene my '00 S (55,000) was doing fine. But stoping by the gas station along the way to ****(didn't fill the gas or anything) while restarting my car back up, i noticed a slight difference. My car was shaking and the rpm was very low like one bar/two bar. After that i drove for like 3 miles or so to a stop light stepping on the clutch, instead of the RPM dropping to 800-1000 it just sank all the way down to the bottom and my car just died. I was about ten miles away from camp so i drove all the way to the barracks, but along the way it died at every stoplight. I had to restart every single time at a stoplight. The CheckEngine Light didn't even come on! So can't take it to auto zone to read code.

Don't know whats going on with my car. I take good care of this car. Oil change every 4000 miles, etc. I did the following thing.

I check the Oil. good

Spark plug. good

Intake filter. good

I'm thinking its something electrical, but took it to make a appointment(not til thursday) at Lejuene Honda in Jacksonville, NC. Just asking anyone who has incounter similar problems before i lose an arm and a leg at honda. Any Help is thank ahead of time.

maybe battery or map sensor needs to be tightened? those are some easy thing that you can check...

 

MAP Whack Attack!!!

 

disconnect the battery for about 15-20 min then start the car up and keep revving it to high rpm ...

 

What Y2K means is to do "idle learn". Reset your ECU, start up your car, then hold the RPMs at about 3000 WITH NO ELECTRICAL LOAD (radio, heat/AC) until you hear the engine fan come on.

Done.
