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

[Ian Duff]

Another thing to check is the battery/engine ground. Piece of braid in the
vicinity of the starter, prone to corrosion, hence failure. Also be sure to
check the ignition switch, as Fred indicated. HTH.

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??
