Hey guys, I was wondering if you could give me some ideas on a problem I'm havin. On the way to school this morning at a stoplight, my car decided to die on me. I fiddled around with my kill switch some (which wasnt really moving on or off at all) and after a few tries the car managed to start again.
About a mile down the road it happened again, this time I was going 45mph. Out of nowhere, my rpm's started jumping hard from 1,000? - 1,900?. The car was bucking pretty bad at this point. Luckily I managed to pull off the side of the road and the car died just before i came to a stop.

I know the info's kinda vague, but does it sound like it could be my TFI? As of now, I'm having my mechanic take a look at the killswitch. Thanks.

Got it back, seems like it was the switch. Buuut, I found out I need some work on the front brakes and I have a leak in my coolant system somewhere.
