My girlfriends SS supercharged just died on her the other day....she was in third gear just cruising when everything dies (all lights went out and needles fell and engine dies), but what is weird is that the car still rolled in 3rd gear with out the clutch even though it died. She applied the clutch and rolled it off the road and restarted and wallah it started up and ran fine since. Any idea as to what could have caused this?

What ive checked so far: 1. checked the grounds
2. checked gas - car had 1/2 tank of gas

Thats all so far.

 

thats weird, seems its happening to a few people... to be honest i wouldnt know what caused it....

 

Mine shut off the other day, but not a complete power failure. More like i turned the key off, but it wouldn't restart right away. My tech thinks maybe bad crank sensor.

 

does she have a lanyard on her keychain (one of those long straps)

 

why would that matter?

 

hey someone should make a thread telling everyone to watch this video i just came across it but cant start my own threads , i know it has nothing to do with this thread but i at least tried to find a thread that the movie pertained to ,

sorry to hear about your car

 

wow that vid is nuts!! and to think my dad almost bought the cts-v......

 

It's been a known problem that if the keychains are heavy or there is a lot, the key insertion/ignition comes loose or whatever you wanna call it. It's not very strong.

 

Yea she has a lot of crap on her keychain. This is the only time it has ever done it so far. Thanks for the input.

 

Or while she was shifting she could have pulled the key?

 

weird yes the cobalt cant be died..... they dont die, if i can strap 100shot on and be fine for months so ya cant die just not right
