Broke My Z - Any Ideas

BrianMSmith · 02-23-2015, 10:09 AM

I was doing about 50mph in 3rd gear merging onto the freeway, I felt a power loss, tried to shift, next thing I'm coasting along - motor stopped. No power steering or brakes, luckily I was going downhill and made it to the next off ramp. Motor stopped, would not start. Towed to the dealer where it waits for a diagnostic. Any ideas?

right turn merge with half or less gas? add gas, should be okay.

I'm thinking failed fuel pump

Like Kenchan said, if it was a long right handed turn and you were on it with less than half tank gas, probably fuel starvation.

If it were Karma I'd have woke up this morning with a Ferrari 458 on the driveway, as a gift from God for all my great works for human kind.

Not a long turn, mostly straight, but definatley acted like it was out of fuel. So fuel pump makes sense.
