After being overseas for 3 years, I recently started driving my 1992 SC300 again. During that time, the car has been garaged in SoCal.
As a prerequisite to start driving again, I had to have an ignition interlock device installed on my car.
About 3 days ago, I noticed that my car's engine just went out while I was driving. Luckily, I was able to restart it while it was still moving and ddin't experience any ill effects. Since then, these untimely engine deaths have been becoming more frequent. I just recently was able to get my vehicle back in a garage after it went out 4 times while driving less than 10 miles.
Right before the engine dies, giving the car gas does absolutely nothing and I can see my rpm's drop until the engien shuts off. The lights, radio, and instrument panel all remain lit while this is happening. Sometimes, giving it gas will do nothing, but the engine won't shut off and if I continue, I can accelerate again. I'm going to have the car checked out by a reputable repair guy, but is there anything else I should suggest to the shop besides what has been already mentioned?
Thanks
