Default Re: Car engine cut off

QUOTE:

On Friday, I was stopped at a red light and the engine suddenly just went quiet and died, no warning at all. When I tried to restart it, there was no crank, but silence from the fan. Hazards still worked so it didn’t seem like a battery issue.

I opened the bonnet and moved the RCM around slightly in its housing (didn’t unplug anything), and after about 15 minutes of trying it eventually started again. I got a brief BAS/ESP light, then it drove fine like nothing happened.

This is why I suspected the CPS.
