Description of the problem | As i was waiting a traffic light my engine revs dropped so low the engine quietly died. When i went to accelerate from the light i realized the car had stalled and had to restart the car. It only happened once more in the next month and a half, then happened three times yesterday. The last time the car stalled i was getting ready to make a left turn through a traffic light during the rush hour commute home. The car did start up again, but it struggled to turn back on and some dash lights flashed up me (i believe the cel flashed on.) i was stuck in the middle of an intersection during rush hour for approximately 5 seconds with a dead car. |
