I have a 1999 9-3 SE HOT with ~125,000 miles on it. This evening while driving home from running some errands, the engine suddenly died. I was driving casually on suburban roads, not doing more than 35mph. I had just downshifted into second to make a turn, when power was cut to everything, just as if I had turned the engine off using the key. The car was running fine up to that point and it started right up after I pulled over to the side of the road. It then ran fine during the last two miles to get home. There were no warnings on the SID and no check engine light. I'm at a total loss as to what could have caused the engine failure and am wondering if it is hinting as a possible problem that is developing. Thank you for any insight you guys can give.
