SC4Hundred

UHHHH, just how is it resurrected? No, seriously. Can you describe what's happening?

Do any of the accessories, lights, etc still work? Does the check engine light come on?

- My lights still work properly. The battery and oil light come on when it dies.

Does it re-start right away or after some time?

- It cranks back up every time. Sometimes it will die soon after and will die quicker if I give it gas. Sometimes it will crank up and drive like nothing was wrong.

Is every "death" and resurrection just the same sequence?

- Yes it is.

Great questions from fhb5032.

My main question is does the engine shut off as if it is being turned off with a light switch instead of sputtering and dying? At what speeds are you typically traveling when the engine shuts down. Are you turning a corner or have you hit a bump or pothole just before the engine shuts down?

- Yeah, as if it was being turned off with a light switch. The car doesn't sputter, it just dies. The car will die mostly when I stop, slow down, or cruise at a low speed. No, it hasn't died while turning corners, and no bumps or potholes have been hit to know.

And, yes, does the engine start back up easily?

- Yes, it does.

Hi, i'm new to these forums and this is my first car. I don't know much about cars; however, as more problems occur with this car, I learn something new.

Anyway, my SC 400 randomly dies when i'm driving. It started happening last week. I've read that it could be multiple issues and so far I haven't found a solution. Anything that I can check myself to start, please let me know.
