When I turned the car on, I put it in reverse to back out, then when I put it in drive is just suddenly died. Turned it back on and everything was fine. I had to reset my "periodic inspection" light also. Will the Periodic inspection light shut the car off?

I dunno it's just weird how it died. Anyone chime in on this?

thanks

 

No the periodic inspection light wouldnt do it. Wow thats odd. Maybe the clutch didnt respond right? Did it jump or anything when it died, like stall or did it just shut off?

 

do you have an aftermarket intake?

 

according to my wife, the car just shut off.
and no, I do not have an intake.

Just reflash and cat-back.

 

According to your wife? Unless she's mechanically inclined.......................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..

 

it happened when my wife was driving..not I, she just called me at work to let me know lol.

 

It's happened to me once when I first got my RA. I was pulling out of a parking space, backed up and then put it in drive. when I went to take my foot off the brake I kinda eased it off slowly and then had to re-ingauge the brake cause someone ran out in front of me. It died as I was pressing the brake back down. It was as if the letting off and then quickly re-ingauging the brake didn't allow the clutches to act quick enough and it killed it instead.

 

Sexist much?

 

Maybe she thought it's an automatic where you can just shift from reverse into drive while the car is slightly moving and the clutches didnt werent allowed to engage...

 

mine fumbles sometimes in the morning if i dont let it warm up for a few minutes.. ill go to pull away.. and between 1st and 2nd gear it fumbles like its gonna stall..

 

Interesting..... I get constantly picked on when I remind people it's not an automatic, and some of those "people" are quite car literate.

 

we where all thinking it lol

 

Nope.. just a realist. As there are FAR FEWER women than men who are mechanically inclined. This doesn't mean that I take the word of most men either, because I don't. I've worked on enough cars where the owners tried to describe to me the problem, and it just so happened to be that the funniest explanations were from chicks - but I still love 'em (unless they're ugly)

 

Why is it everyone says your sexist when you tell the truth? I don't get that...

 

This happened to me once, I was in a parking lot, I started it, when I switched the tranny to D, it stalled on me, for no "apparent" reason, I turned the car back on and it hasn't happened since, no clue why it happened.
