I was driving on the highway and my car would not go over 70 mph. This is the first time I had problems with it. When I was getting off the highway and I let off the gas pedal my car stalled out and shut off on me. It would not start back up. Someone said sounded like the TPS or the crank sensor? I am just trying to get a second opinion on it before I start working on it. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Just a quick question first. Is the check engine light on? If so we need the codes that are stored in your vehicles computer. if you don't have access to a scanner/code reader your local auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and will rent you one. Here is a link for a tutorial for you to view showing what is involved:

If you get back to us with the fault codes we will be happy to help diagnose your cars problem. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
