Ouch, that sucks, Amar. Hopefully it's nothing major. It definitely seems like it's something other than fuel starvation, though.

I'm assuming it died and wouldn't turn over?

m4a1mustang · 11-11-2010, 03:51 PM

Did you get a CEL light?

Updates:

I didn't do anything I just went from second to third

m4a1mustang · 11-11-2010, 03:53 PM

You went from 2nd to 3rd and the engine died?

GM_Traitor3.5 · 11-11-2010, 03:57 PM

Yikes bro... at least it was still light out when it decided to go silent. Hope its nothing big and good luck!

hazzazi · 11-11-2010, 04:31 PM

hazzazi · 11-11-2010, 04:33 PM

tooohip · 11-11-2010, 04:53 PM

bummer, hope they get it fixed soon for ya.

ZCarMan · 11-11-2010, 05:58 PM

I will be interested as well as the rest here will to know what the cause is when they find out. I wonder if a hose might have broke or something. Guess we'll have to wait and find out. Glad you are okay though Amar and didn't have to walk miles in the dark!

loooolz, i had it topped off this time.

anyways, thank you everyone for your concern, i made it back safely to virginia in a Cube

... i still don't know what the problem is, but i will keep you guys updated...

what started the problem is, i was going up a ramp revving hard from second to third, and before i hit red line it got cut off, and i couldn't speed up, but the RPM held up. thought it might be fuel starvation, so i turned the car off after i managed to reach home (5 min away)... and i let it sit for 2 hours, when i left home, it seemed fine, but then on the highway it started again and the gas kept cutting off... anyways i should get a call tomorrow and let everyone know..

take care everyone, i got a gtr waiting for me out side

i am not a big fan of mechanics.
they try to rip you off.

if you find one that is honest,
stick to that one until the perception changes.

m4a1mustang · 11-11-2010, 06:02 PM

I hope they can get it fixed quickly!

BTW guys, just an FYI, be careful around Fairfax. Saw my first unmarked 2010 Camaro SS Fairfax County PD car today. It was responding to an accident along with an unmarked current-generation BMW 335i Sedan.

The two richest counties in the United States are Loudon County (No. 1) and Fairfax County (No. 2).
