Re: Car dies on highway, no restart 200 92

Josh,

Highways, parking lots, drive way, alongside gas pumps, it doesn't matter, I've done them all. Sounds like you had a failure of the glass tube fuse type. Sometimes the element fails at the ends, hidden out of view by the metal jackets at the ends rather then in the middle where the element is narrow and in view. Inserting a spare fuse is a good way to check this - and listen for the sounds of the fuel pump.

Next step is to clean fuse block connections for corrosion.
