Subject: engine cut out
Hi, advice please.
Coming home the other night my 1998 9-5 (84k miles) just cut out on me.
I was driving on a dual carriageway when the gas pedal gave a little 'blip'
under my foot and the engine cut right out and I coasted majestically to a
stop. (Dashboard check engine lights came on immediately the engine cut.)
The starter motor turns ok there was plenty juice in the battery (all lights
etc still worked normally) fusebox/oil level/temperature/coolant etc all ok.
There was no warning on the display of any problem as one normally gets for
a bulb out etc.
Has anyone experienced this and has an idea what it could be?
Don't want to get ripped off by the garage as I haven't a clue what's wrong.
Thanks.
