I realize this is a huge shot in the dark. But maybe someone had a similiar experience.


I recently put headers and exhaust on. I have been driving it for a good three weeks with no problems. Well yesterday I am driving, and out of no where the car shuts off. The motor didn't bog or choke, it was like someone pulled the key out. I pulled over and it fired right back up no problem and I was on my way. The computer did not throw any codes and the car still drives perfect ever since.



...Maybe just a fluke? Battery terminals seem to be on tight, and there are no burnt wires.

 

check to make sure all the ground cables are secure, there aren't any that attach to the exhaust that i know of, but there is one or 2 that run close under the center of the car, a pipe may be contacting it and jarring it enough to cause it that once.

 

*nm* I'm blind

Was it an engine shut down (just the engine quite, gauges still registered and what not) or was it a complete shut down (everything went dead, gauges, etc).

 

Thx for the input guys.


I couldn't tell, it scared me-lol I just threw it in neutral and fired it back up.



I don't think anything hit, I was going a steady 30 mph on a smooth road.
