Friday, I was driving home and everything was behaving normally. I drove about 30 miles on the freeway, didn't get on it or anything. Well as soon as I exit and take off from the light my car starts to bog down really really bad. It sounded like I was driving under water, exhaust was really gargled and I lost a ton of power. I thought I was in the wrong gear, so I shifted and all of a sudden the car dies on me... WTF?!?! Steering locked up and I almost crashed into another car ...
Luckily, I was able to get to the side of the rode without incident. I popped the hood, everything looks normal, including the MAF sensor. I looked under the car and no leaks of any kind. I tried to start it back up and it turned over but then fell on its face. I tried again nothing, the starter was just ticking away.
My dad, who is a mechanic, said that it may be the fuel pump that just went out??? I never run it real low on gas and the car only has 76k miles on an 01. All the electrical works fine, and the car turns on but won't start. I plugged in my code reader and there were no codes thrown. Anyone have any other ideas what it could be??
Cliffs: Car bogs down and loses power then just dies on me while driving outta nowhere, no previous issues. I think it could be fuel pump? Any other ideas? Thanks guys.
