It doesn't even have to be after a long drive. Typically, I would pull over, turn the ignition back, wait a few seconds, turn it back on and make my way back home/school/wherever. Today it happened on my way home (30 minute commute through the city) and I didn't have anywhere to pull off, so I put it in neutral and turned the key to turn it back on, all while rolling down the road. Suggestions? Ideas what the problem could be? thanks, KandA PS- A few years ago (not long after we acquired this car) we had the radiator switched from DexCool over to standard coolant. Could this be part of or causing the problem? Coolant temperature sensor? nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Apr 30, 2010, 10:06 AM Post #2 of 4 (1949 views) Re: car shutting off while driving Sign In what codes are present? kandahopkins New User Apr 30, 2010, 4:58 PM Post #3 of 4 (1941 views) Re: car shutting off while driving Sign In We don't have a device to know something like that. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Apr 30, 2010, 5:14 PM Post #4 of 4 (1938 views) Re: car shutting off while driving Sign In a lot of parts stores will scan it for you for free.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
