Hey guys,

After some advice, today I was driving to work.... nek minute I wasn't! The car just stopped no cough no stutter just went from cruising along to engine off, dash all lit up as it does when you turn on the accessories, engine cranks over just won't start, I didn't have much time to look at it as I was heading to work just had it towed home, tomorrow I'll get hold of a scan tool and see what it says, 

I can hear the fuel pump priming and can feel fuel flowing in the rail, So I'm thinking no spark and or no injector pulse,

Has this happened to anyone else?

Ba mk2 F6 114,000k's

60lbs injectors 

sct tune

that's about it

My old car did the exact same thing on the freeway. Was hard stopping at 110k with semis going around you. 

 

I never found out what it was. Got it home and it started and ran as normal. No codes or the likes either. 

 

I got rid of the car a month later to a guy that owned a wreckers so hopefully you're in better shape

How can you SEE fuel flowing in the rail?  Glass rail?

 

Sounds dangerous having it conk out like that.  I've never had my BFII do that in the 280,000 odd km I've driven it.  You must need to thrash the pants off it a bit more :)

check the four main sources you need for combustion... fuel, spark, air & compression.

 

I'm thinking it's a compression issue. I'd be doing a compression test first.

My old BF sr did some weird sh*t Steve. 

It would take off on its own randomly, cruise would come on by itself, it would stop like this one. The worst was the dodge master cylinder that would just randomly try to stop the car at the worst times. 

Hit 110k km and it went downhill very fast.

Why do think it's compression Keith?

 

That is the least likely thing on that list for it to be. 

I agree that without any other evidence, it's the least likely of outcomes...

 

Most likely is spark.

Second most likely is fuel.

Air/compression are probably equally unlikely...

 

I say compression first because he said he could hear the fuel. Spark shouldn't just drop off a cliff like the symptoms say and air supply shouldn't be compromised or you'd notice some sort of decline or splutter if you're getting heaps of fuel and not much or no air. Loss of compression can cause a sudden engine stop like that, but again usually makes noises indicating something went wrong...

 

Could still be anything, though.

My internet guess is electrical component failure or immobilization issue. 

 

As we all know it could be a variety of causes.

Happened to my car once, my old man was taking us to the airport and after dropping us off, took him 2 hours to get home with the car cutting out.  Would cool down and run then turn off again as it warmed up again.  Never happened again but I figured it was the fuel pump as I hear its a known problem once hot.  I do have mods since and a new pump so.
