Last night the check engine light came on while driving on the interstate. I pulled over and turned the car off for a few minutes. It started fine, and the light did not come on again.
Later on in the evening, the car died in traffic. I coasted to a stop, waited a minute, and the car started fine again. It died again a few minutes later. Again, it started fine. Since I had the climate control on full auto and the stereo on (which has a blown amp on one side that works intermittently but can also pop and crackle), I decided to drive with both off for the rest of the night and everything was fine.
Today, on about mile 55 of a 60 mile drive, the car died on the interstate. It started immediately, such that I did not even have to pull over, and ran fine for the remainder of the 5 miles home. I did not have the stereo or cc on. I spoke to a tech at Acura of Brookfield, but they didn't know what it was, and they can't look at it until Tuesday.
The oil pressure, temperature, voltage, etc. all seem fine. The engine sounds great when it is running.
Any ideas?
Is it possible that using the stereo with a blown amp has caused some problems with the electrical system?
Could this be an ignition or coil issue?
Am I overlooking something obvious?
