i encountered a similar problem today... while i was cruising on the highway about 100mph and when i was about to go in a junction maybe another 400m away, i put the gear to neutral. My intention was to let the engine breathe the incoming air to lower the oil temperature but suddenly the Zs' engine cut off, & limps on... brakes wasnt working normally, steering was hard to steer and the Malfunction light lit on. Got panicked, but eventually the car limped to a stop safely on the side of the road.. Tried restarting it and it was back to normal...

I wonder what made the Zs' engine died unpredictably? Any ideas guys? was it because i put the gear on neutral too soon after aggressive revs?? sudden drop of heat to the engine oil perhaps? i dunno?? Please advice.... Thanks....
