| Engine quit while driving because of failure of efi relay which cut off power to the fuel pump. had to have car towed. part was replaced - old part not available. 1) i was pulling out of a parking lot into a local street when the engine died. fortunately, there was no traffic near and i was able to push the car back into an adjacent lot. 2) however, if i had been on the freeway just one block away, i would have lost power steering, power brakes, and have been in much heavier traffic, which could easily have led to a high-speed collision. 3) i had the car towed to an independent shop where, for $300, they diagnosed the failure and replaced the defective part. the mechanic commented that the design of supplying power to the fuel pump through two different relays was poorly thought out. | |||
