Z's Engine died on freeway onramp

T_Tran - was it a long/tight right-hand onramp, and were you taking it hard, with 1/3rd or less of a tank of gas? If so, welcome to the ever-enjoyable fuel

T_Tran - was it a long/tight right-hand onramp, and were you taking it hard, with 1/3rd or less of a tank of gas? If so, welcome to the ever-enjoyable fuel cut issue we run into at the track regularly.

It was a left turn. Its winter in Canada so the roads are slippery as hell so no did not take it hard. Gas tank was full as I filled the tank in the morning.

Will be for sure taking it to the dealer

I'd bet a lot it is your crankshaft position sensor.
