| Description of the problem | Driving on interstate 70 mph, car engine stopped running, rpm's were still up as if car on, coasted out of traffic, no check engine, no sputtering, had gas, but acted as if i had run out. Turned ignition key to off and removed it, attempted to start the car several times within an hours time, it acted as if it was going to start but didn't. Had it towed to mechanic, on a flat bed tow truck. It started up and all systems were checked with no evidence of failure. Diagnostics were run with no active codes, electrical was checked, no evidence of failure. This could have been a huge safety event, if i had not been in an outside lane and was able to get out of traffic. I have had three mechanics look at it and no issue found, but in fear of driving on highway. Guesses have been fuel pump faulty? Cam shaft sensor faulty? Electrical? |
