Engine randomly died out… but restarted?!?


Recommended Posts

I was driving in town and was coasting down to a traffic light but wanted to put in some throttle to make the shift nicer, only to realize my engine had died. It did pop out the exhaust a little, which makes me think it was spark-related vs fuel related, especially since it died so quickly and suddenly. It started back up and idled at like, 2,000 rpm for maybe 10-15s then has run fine. Not down on power, no missing, popping, nothing. Back to normal. My guess is CPS, it’s original, but I tested it a few years ago and it tested fine, above the minimum voltage. Maybe it’s finally going out? It hasn’t had any issues with long crank/hot starts, and it wasn’t particularly hot when it died. I’m also suspect of the ASD relay, but I think that kills fuel, not spark. Not entirely sure, figured I’d get some inputs before shooting the parts cannon.
