Description of the problem	Upon entering traffic flow on i-94 westbound near new buffalo michigan the acceleration of engine quit instantaneously and the engine warning light lit up reading something about a fail safe mode. After coasting back across two traffic lanes to the side of road i shut the engine down. To keep from getting stranded along the highway and since the engine info light read all systems were ok after waiting a few minutes i restarted the motor and it ran ok.
