Shutting off while driving?

Hi,

If the gauges are dropping off to nothing, it sounds like we have an electrical issue that is being affected by heat.

Do me a favor. In the under-hood fuse box, you will find the fuel pump relay. Remove it and inspect it for corrosion or damage to the connectors. See pic below for location.

This relay is a 5-pin relay. If there is a different one in the box having the same part number, switch them and see if it makes a difference.

Here is a link that explains how to check a relay if there isn't a matching one in the fuse box:

Let me know.

Hi,

Okay, let's do this a different way. When it stalls and won't restart, see if it will if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for an ignition spark.

Hopefully, this will help us narrow things down. The idea of what is happening sounds like a typical crankshaft position sensor, which will cause the engine to lose spark to the plugs, but that doesn't explain the gauges shutting down like the key is off.

I'm questioning a couple of things at this point such as the ignition switch itself and either the body control module or powertrain control module.

Try what I suggested and let me know the results.

Takae care,

Joe
