WTF? Car Died?
WTF? Car Died?
So yesterday im driving, and I pull onto a major street and there is no traffic. I decide im going to rip on her only in 1st gear just to her the bitch whine. So I nail it in 1st, spin tires a little and all of the sudden when I hit 6k rpms BAM!!! The car turns off and all the electrical **** is off with it. I quickly pull over and try to start her. Nothing... So i get out and pop the hood, nothing. Check under the car, nothing. When i get back to the car I try to start it again and it works. Just now the gauges dont work. So I turn it off. I wait about 10 mins because i thought i read somewhere on here that this happenes every once in awhile to some people. 10 mins later and everything is great, she is running good, and has driven fine since it happened (about 50 miles)
WTF?

I changed the Crank position sensor, hasn't happened since then.
Lol, If it happens again im going right to the dealer and they are replacing the cps for free
Im just glad it didnt happen when I was in the middle of busy traffic

sounds like a crank sensor. I had mine replaced at 4000 miles covered under warranty. It should have thrown a code, not sure what it was though.....

Crankshaft Position Sensor, Crankshaft Position Sensor, Crankshaft Position Sensor.
One more time. Crankshaft Position Sensor.
Yes, it should have thrown a code. My car did when it happened to me with only a couple of thousand miles on her.
But even if it didn't, bring it in to the dealer anyways because ...
#1 The computer may have stored the incident
#2 You don't want that happening to you again
Good Luck!

Mine did it to but i was going about 95 and hit a bump in the road and it just shut off on me.
Take in mind that the road i was on is the road i live on and i hit that same bump every day dont know what caused it.
