I was driving today, cruising at 55mph and the speedo shot down to zero and the car died in the middle of the road. I pulled over and tryed to restart and the car wouldnt turn over. I sounded like it was about to start and just would not turn over. i had it towed to my dealer, has anyone had this happen to them before. and btw i checked the ic piping and that wasnt the problem. thanks in advance fore any input

 

does it run at all? or just crank and crank and crank

 

just crank and crank no start????

 

If you had the car at your house you could yank a few of the plugs connect it to the plug wire (with a pair of gloves on) and crank it to see if you have spark. But the dealer will figure it out

 

yeah its there now

 

let us know what happened.

 

could this be the beginning of the 4G63 grimlins coming out to play with the owners?

I only ask because the DSM crowd (including myself) have been fighting a brutal war with the grimlins for years now and mostly losing.

Good luck fixing the car. At least yours is under warrenty!

 

Sounds like a timming belt issue but your car is new. Also sounds like a fuel pump issue also. Did it hesitate when you saw the rpm shoot to zero? More details pleases.....

 

Disconnect your turbo timer and let me know what happens(This happened to me too).

 

GRIMLINS ?! whats that?

 

i think he means gremlins

 

why would the turbo timer do anything?

 

Greddy: there was no hesitation at all, the rpms went from 3000 right to zero and the speedo did the same and then engine shut down while i was cruising at 60 and i struggled to brake and pull the car over

 

hey i just got of the phone with my service rep and he said that it has somthing to do with the MIF sensor for the injectors??? he said hed call back if a few hours with some concrete answers, so well see, thank god it was nothing to big

 

cool man glad to hear
