ok, going to work this AM I was doing 65 then it felt like the engine cut out but not completely. I lost 99% of my power and by the time I pulled over the engine was off. The Tach was going all over the place from 0 to 7000 RPM but the engine was not racing, it was very quiet as in idle or less. Check Engine light came on.
Pulled over, turned everything off. Opened hood, nothing special, did check transmission fluid and it was fine. Tried turning it over and it struggled like it had no fuel but started. Pulled into traffic, got about 100 yards and it did it again.
Waited a few, plugged in my OBD reader, started it up, no code, engine running fine. Was able to drive the rest of the way to work, including stop lights and such with no issues at all, about 10 minutes of mixed city/highway.
I'm thinking the Check Engine light was on because the key was in the ignition and turned to the ON position but the engine was not running, not actually showing Check Engine.
Thoughts were:
Crap in the gas?
Bad fuel pump (I've had a Dodge do this and they just go out and stay out)?
Grounding strap on engine?
As some back info this is a rebuilt engine, about 6,000 miles on it.
