lucky for me only 2 weeks after having my tranny fixed the car dies on the way to work.
All of a sudden there was no responce from the pedal with the car still running. By the time I pulled over (about 10 seconds) , just as i stopped the car died. Cranks no problem but won't catch. I then noticed a strange almost burning type of smell. It seems to be coming from under the hood. My sniffer couldn't pin point it in the rain and wind, but definatly an odd smell.
There was nothing obvious. Any ideas on what to look for? I could think maybe fuel pump, but the smell makes me think otherwise on that one. I'm probably going to have to consider the DI right? (big sigh). Any other suggestions or easy things to rule out? What about the altenator? I would think not sice it cranks no problem.
should have just given up before that tranny repair. doh.
