Alright Ladies and Gents I have a weekend problem for you to help me solve.
I was driving on I-30 at 70mph, Radio and A/C on, when my car dies. The gas pedal still produced a response from the engine (audible) but the gauges showed nothing (I am assuming because I was in gear coasting so the engine was still turning). So I coast to a stop in the shoulder with my hazards on. As the car stops, so does the engine.
I originally thought alternator...but the car cranks and it also seems to function..just not start.
I haven't been able to check spark/fuel/etc but I was hoping you guys/gals may have some experience with a similar issue.
