Help: Something Weird Happened Today

[beefy]

Just happened a few hours ago. I turned right into Burwood hwy from Springvale Rd. I put my foot down on the gas slightly to climb the hill and felt no power from it. Tried again and same result. I started making my way to the left lane as I knew something was wrong. Kept trying to get some power but nothing.

Eventually it stuttered and came to a complete stop where the engine died.

I noticed the orange hicas light was on after my engine died. Probably normal but never noticed it before if it is.

I waited a few seconds then tried to start the car and everything seemed back to normal. I took it very easy all the way home as I didnt want to be stranded anywhere.

I know it could probably be one of a million things but any ideas what it could be?

any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated.

Thanks

did it rev but with no power? thats usually a sign of a fuel supply problem ...

its exactly what happened to me on saturday ... but mine didn't start again ... still havent figured out why my pump isn't working

Umm good question but it happened so fast that I cant say for sure.

It may of reved but I had the radio on so not sure.

How much fuel in the tank? When was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

[beefy]

Almost Full tank.

Fuel Filter .. I don't remember it ever being changed. I just take it to my mechanic and he does his magic but it has been a while since the last service. I've been waiting for Ben @ RacePace for bout 8-9 weeks now.

My car had the same probably, though it didnt stall, but felt like it was going too... and i changed the fuel filter and its improved, though i think my spark plugs need chaning too. Havent really been able to see if its totally fixed the problem because after it happened i blew a diff so the cars been off the road since.

Try the fuel filter, takes about 10minutes to remove, 10minutes to install and you can pick up one for $10-$15 at repco.

If you change the fuel filter take the pressure out of the fuel lines before you take out the filter. Remove the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine for a few seconds

Will do thanks for the advice!
