Car shut off after hitting a cat...
 
Was driving to work last night when i hit a cat at about 50, after that the car kinda shut off. It was on but slowing down no throttle response.?. Pulled over, shut it off completely then turned it back on, no issues at all since.? Any ideas?

It has to do with the throttle sensor putting the car in limp mode because of the sudden loss of speed. Mine did it several times during a car control class when I was sliding off the course LOL. I would shut it off and restart it and all was good. Seb said tuned it out for me.

Sounds like a CATastrophe

Could actually be a CATalytic converter that was hit. Would cause heavier damage but you could sell it to pay for the repair.

However, a real, dead feline has very little commercial value.

You're just angling for a pussyslayer tag
