Car turns of while driving.....
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 5:42 AM
Yesterday morning I was on the interstate and after driving for about 10 minutes my can completely turns off. I pulled over and waited a minute or two, started the car back up as if nothing happened.

This morning I was on the interstate again driving for about 10 minutes when I lost all power to the to my gas pedal. I could not longer press down on the gas to keep my speed. I pulled over as my speed went down to zero. My car was still on, but the gas pedal wasn't an option. I turned my car off, restarted it, and I was back on the road as if nothing happened. What in the world could be going on with my 2000 Z24?

Sounds like when my fuel pump was going out. Took about three months before it actually did lol
