What are you driving?????? how many miles???? did it make any un-normal sounds prior to this problem??? It sounds like the timing of the cam and the crank was lost, ether the failure of a chain or belt.

My truck did that and it was the fuel pump in the gas tank.

Disconnect your alternator. I had a similar problem with a 2001 Ram 2500. I found that the alternator was surging and causing the automatic trans sensors to disengage the trans creating a slipping feeling. This may be the cause for your problem.

SOURCE: engine died while driving..

Hello Friend,
Pull out the spark pugs so, there is no longer compression. Put a wrench on the crankshaft pully. The engine will turn and the pistons will travel up and down. This is of course it the engine hasn't seized. If the engine turns its the starter. Simple.

SOURCE: Truck losing power and service engine soon light on

Like to other guy said, give it a tuneup. Also try SEAFOAM to clean carb up of slug. Also check to make sure the butter fly for the choke has not come loose, causing it the choke it down. Failed choke pull-off.

Sounds like you are having a fuel problem with the fuel filter. If you have not had your car serviced in quite awhile i would do so. At least change the fuel filter and check the air filter as well. Hope thias will help you.

Honda Odyssey engine suddenly dies while driving on HWY

This problem may take sometime to find. Please write back with specific vehicle information (year,engine size, mileage, maintenance history, recent repairs and anything else you can think of. A few suggestions to get started. The usual rule of thumb is if there is a drivability issue and the engine light is off then it is mechanical. Check the fuses and relays. Look for loose connections (fuses and relays should slide in with firm pressure). Also look for any signs of over heating. Inspect the fuses and relays for melted spots and corrosion. Check the performance of the ignition switch. It may be worn and loosing contact with related parts, affecting performance. It could be the fuel pump too. There are other suggestions but the other failures should turn the engine light on. I hope this helps but I would like to hear back from you. I feel like I could help more, if I knew more about your problem. Good luck.

I was driving along a snowy road in minus temperatures and then suddenly on the dashboard a warning red light came on like an injector and the engine died completely straight away and would not restart.

if the check engine light came on. have it scanned to find problem code. if no scanner any auto parts store will scan for free. but this may be a bad crank sensor, that is how they act when bad. it controls the timing on todays vehicles. if crank sensor is bad it will die while driving, and may not start back up.

Engine dies but starts again but won't continue to run . Was driving home last night and all of a sudden noticedI was losing speed and couldn't excilerate. Pull over and engine died but I could restart it....

You may need a new fuel filter. When you start the engine all the particles in the filter begin to dam up until they choke off the fuel entirely. When the engine dies the particles fall back down allowing enough fuel flow to start the engine and the whole pocess repeats itself. Thanks, Dana

My 2005 dodge diesel will die and then start right back up. The Spedometer and RPM's will both drop to ''0'' and then it will start and all goes back to normal. No engine lights come on. I need help.

Hmmm, this is very strange. I have two articles that I have read that come to mind that I believe will help.

It sounds like this happens all of a sudden when driving given that the speedometer and RPM go down, you say, and for this, please review the following article that addresses the possible causes of your engine's abrupt/sudden dying while driving at this link:

http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Engine_System_Engine_Abruptly_Quits_Periodically_While_Driving.htm

Also, since your gauges go down while driving, in addition to the probable causes mentioned in the article linked above, your problem may be a bad alternator according to this article on the sudden loss of a gauge reading while driving:

http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Alternator_Gauges_Go_Up_And_Down_Like_Crazy.htm

These articles should lead you to a solution.
