Engine died while in motion
Is sad to see the 8 on a tow truck...
.....especially at mid night......
So this is what happened. The car started out very nice as usual. When I was approaching a right turn after driving for approx. 8 mins, there was a sudden choke followed by a weird sound which sounded like this "Pooooffffff". Afterwards, the engine died.
I tried to start it back up but failed........I was planning to go bubble tea but ended up on a tow truck......-__-
Will be going to the dealership early morning.....hopefully everything will be fine........and nothing $$$$$$$$.
Anyone experience this before??

Ouch, good luck.
Mine died driving as well, but it just ran REALLY REALLY rough and I was able to get it in a parking where it died. Never had a sudden stop or poof of any kind.
Mine turned out to be coils...

I almost had my car die tonight. I shut it down earlier this afternoon a bit too early and knew the chances of flood were there.
Tonight at minus 12 is crank quite a bit, but using what I learned from this forum I did not back off letting it crank. After about 6 cranks it fired in a rough choking fury.
All is good now.
