Can anyone explain to me why my car would just die today? Here is what was goin on, I turned the corner into my friends apartment complex, then the car just quit running, I brought it to a stop after first immeditly trying to put it in park (cuz I freaked out) then I braked and parked, didn't start right away, then it did and has been fine since this morning. a friend at school today told me his Probe once just died like mine did and he said it was the distributor cap. help. hehe long post

can be many many things. but the distributor cap is one of them

The rotor, coil, fuel pump and stuff like that coild fail too

well it seems most everyone on the old forum who hasn't switched over here yet says it was probably filters.

My 89dx is doin something similar, but it stalls and will start if i push the petal to the floor...and then it barfs out some black some and runs ok while accelerating....but when i come to the next stop light it wants to do the stalling thing again......i need help too......i am gonna get a new cap and coil today...
