Driving along the highway tonight, the engine just suddenly quit as
cold as if I had turned off the ignition. All the annunciator lights
came on as I coasted to a stop on the side of the road. I turned the
ignition off, then back on, then to start, and it fired right up, and
didn't fault again. For the engine to do that - even once - says I have
a problem. But where to even start looking I don't have a clue. It
didn't even sputter. It was like someone threw the "Off" switch - but
the ignition switch was on of course. What might cause a blatant engine
stoppage that way? It didn't even sputter.

If it happened once - it WILL happen again.

Thanks,

John
