Afternoon all,
On my way home this afternoon, i figured id turn on the A/C for once. I was just cruising down the highway when I lost engine power completely. Once I had coasted to safety, i attempted to restart the car. As it was turning over it sounded like it wasnt firing on all cylinders, so I immediately thought my coil packs had melted in todays intense heat, in combination with the heat generated by the A/C unit. Also the battery light was staying on during the ordeal. But then after about a minute, it fired back up no problem. I didnt turn the A/C back on after that, and all was normal like it never happened. Any thoughts? |

I gather its your XR8 ?
Sound like the coils to me but it normally wont start for a little while longer till they cool more.
