My car die on me twice this month ...

[SUPAN]

My ride die on me twice this month at very low speed ...

one was turning left bend on flat ground ... engine was well warmed up and sprint for at least 15 km.

the other time was going down slope. After 5 mins of warm up (after 9 hours of not driving - parked) Turn right at very low speed.

The idling went lower than usual idling of abt 700 rpm ... then both time the engine cut off and went to Neutrel ...

Had to restart by start engine again ....

What may be the problem ... and this is going to be a hazrd to the rear drivers and myself ....

Any advice ?

Mine is 135 N55, used to have similar issue, do you have any BOV or DV installed? Mine was leaking caused the MAP sensor went nuts. It will cause the engine to stall occasionally, esp at low speed or when slowing down to stop. Even if you don't have any BOV or DV, still could be a leaky charge pipe or naughty MAP sensor. Check your pipe or maybe clean the MAP sensor would be my guess....

Re: My car die on me twice this month ...

Multiple possibilities - MAP sensor, O2 sensors, ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel pump, valvetronic servo, VANOS solenoids, eccentric shaft.... fault in any of these causes bad idling leading to engine stalling.

Send it to a workshop for diagnostic. Your ride may have thrown a code that can be quite easily picked up with the proper OBD scanning tool.
