[s-cars] Died on I4, now no-start

[Fred Munro]

Sounds like an electrical failure. Could be a lot of things - failed
ignition switch, bad battery, any number of wires/connections
failed/shorted.

Personally, I'd start with the ignition switch since it is common to both
symptoms (engine shut off and starter won't crank).

Good luck! Let us know what the problem was.

Driving along at about 70mph, everything seemed fine.  Suddenly and with
no warning, RPMS dropped like a rock and car dies.  I coasted to a stop
on the shoulder.  Car refused to start.  I turned the key and heard
nothing.  No cranking... nada.
I'm trying to figure out what could cause the car to die while happily
curising at 70 and also keep it from turning over...
I had it towed 130 miles to my mechanic (who I'm getting to know better
and better).  Perhaps it's something simple I can fix on my own before
he gets to it??
