Car died need help

Serious Concern Need Help

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming off the highway doing 110 km , just having slowed down to 80 my car suddenly DIED on me WTF , luckily no traffic behind me and i managed to pull over to the side of the road .

Both THE Engine light and Dsc / Tsc control lights were on .

I waited a minute then started my car up and reset the ECU and both the lights went off ., however the engine is idling rough , i managed to drive home at a slow speed and garaged my car .

This is potentially a deadly scenario had this occured on the freeway it could easily caused a major accident .

The suspect culprits that i can think off that may have caused this problem is an
Electrical fault , Malfunctioning O² sensor , Faulty catalyctic converter .wtf not happy jan .
