As I slowed down, my car died out of nowhere and I had to pull off to the side (fortunately I made it safely). I waited for a few seconds on a full stop. I had no idea what happened, my car just died while it was still moving. At this point, I decided to turn the ignition back on and drove off hoping it wouldn't die again. <br /><br />There had been a number of occassions where this happened. On a similar note, just the other morning, I started the car and it just instantly died. I tried turning the ignition back on a few times and it just died (RPM went up, then came back to 0). The thing is, it started for a few seconds then the RPM dropped back to 0. I came back to it later that day, but this time it turned on just fine. I didn't drive it though.<br /> <br />So anyone have an idea what's wrong with my car? Has this ever happened to you? I would appreciate any kind of input.<br /><br />Hope you can help me out.. thanks.. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /><br />oh and btw, my car is a 2000 GT<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 22, 2006, 10:43 PM: Message edited by: one00stang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Quick 88LX</b> <br /><small>Member # 1950</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,23,1,37,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Do you have access to a digital code reader?
