Normally not in this neck of the woods on H-T, but a friend of mine was just telling me about what his '02 Type S did today... He was driving down the road, casual driving, and the car randomly shut off? No CEL's, nothing. He rolled into a parking lot and waited a little bit and it started right back up?
Any ideas? This was the most random thing I've ever heard for a car to just shut off.

If it happened again I'de worry about it. He may have hit something, let off the clutch too soon, or any random thing could of happened that is not related to something being wrong with the car. Just a thought. Assuming this is the first time its happened. Unless you have more information, its kind of hard to suggest any real reason with out guessing. But if I were to guess, I'de say maybe a loose ignition wire or a loose ground somewhere.

 

Yeah nothing driver-related as far as driving the car is concerned. I'll get him to check his ignition/grounds. I would give more information but that's about all he told me that happened.
Thanks man. Also check your IM's.

 

i use to have a lanyard on my civic key..i stepped on it and turned the car off while i was driving.
