2008 Vert Engine Shutoff While Driving
Posted by Ben (more from Ben) on Mon, 9 Jul 2012 14:46:14
My 2008 with 35k miles had the engine shut off again while driving. It happened a couple weeks ago and has happened again. Driving along normally, when the engine shuts off. The car was harder to turn than the '67 2 stroke at this point, but I managed to get it into a parking lot. The car wouldnt start back up immediately, but about an hour later it started up. Top opened and closed and lights radio and seats worked after the engine stopped. The car would accelerate slowly up until about 20mph and then stop until the turbo kicked in. Put the pedal to the floor and same thing. After shutting the car off and starting it back up, everything is ok now. The CEL light is on but I dont have my code reader, so I dont know what the code is this time. Last occurrence, the code was P0601 Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error. Any ideas of what may be going on or where to look. I do most of my own work and the nearest Saab Indy is over an hour away. Thanks
