Re: Car died on the hwy last night! 200 84Turbo

A busted belt would stop your progress right away. But if it slipped a few notches you might find that it would still run, just really badly. I guess the FP relay could be bad. Check to see if the pump is running when you crank it.

It does sound really suspicious especially because you have a 5000 mile-old cat. The hot uphill run might have broken something off on the inside. I had the problem once on my Audi. Something in the cat broke off and it stopped dead with the same symptoms. Then it wouldn't start. But when I smacked the converter with a hammer, everthing got back to normal and I was on my way.
