Well on the way home tonight my 93 teg just died. Very weird. I was driving about 65 miles an hour, when the engine just stopped. Didn't sputter, no boom, nothing. The tach just went to 0. I was able to pull over, but it wouldn't start. Didn't even sound like it was cranking. My temp was fine. The only thing strange that I noticed was that when I went to put it on a trailer, the windows were rolling up and down like the battery was dead. Not being a mechanic, the only thing I can think of is that the altenator went. Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to bring it to a shop to find out the engine is completely dead, because it will take a while for me to be able to get a new one and I don't want to tow it to the shop and then have to tow it home while I wait for the engine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like an igniter, man. They just pop, die, and the car won't go. Not a cheap part either... but WAY easy to install.

 

Thanks! I'll check it out.

definitely something in the distributor area. check the fuses, igniter and the dist. itself
