Ok so i was driving today and the car just shuts off. i was pulling it out of gear and pressed the break to slow down and it just cuts off. I had to restart. this scared me cause i was in a turn and the breaks were not stopping much and no power stearing on almost a 90 degree turn. any ideas on what it could be? it has stalled twice before when comeing to a stop but never while driving. thanks in advance

There are a few threads about this already, a search on stalling should give you a ton of reading. I don't know if anyone has solved it yet though.

My Pacific Green Cobra has done this to me before and I think I know what caused it on mine. The only times it ever did it, I had sprayed throttle body cleaner into the throttle body a few hours before. I thought I revved it all out, but apparently I hadn't. It caused the engine to choke and stall when I was driving. But it hasnt done it since and I havent sprayed the cleaner since, either. Hope this helps.

hmmm. I had just clenaed my k&n filter maybe that stuff got in there? not sure. I also just had my fuel injectors cleaned. i am gonna put the stock filter back on and see if that fixes the problem.

My 03 did this on me when i first got it.. when i'd get off the highway ramps. i'd forget to take it out of 5th quicker than i would my previous car and i'd stall it ;(
