So my co-worker came to me this morning and told me his little Toyota matrix died on him twice while driving to work. The conditions he described sounded very unfamiliar (in dry conditions) to me for trouble shooting.
He stated that his cars engine shut off on its own while driving on the freeway for no apparent reason, then after sitting for a few minutes started right back up. A few miles down the road it did the same thing again. He states that it had electrical power each time it lost engine power.
My first thoughts were a bad coil pack but I think it has individual coils. He also says nothing seemed overly hot, no burning smells or anything like that.
Anyone ever see anything like this on one of these or a similar year Corolla or Pontiac Vibe?
