car just died today not sure where to post this. i was sittin at a redlight today enjoying this 90 degree weather 
and the car just shut off. didnt stutter or run rough or anything like that, just cut off like i turned the key. it started back up just fine but im kinda concerned of why it would cut off in the first place. the only thing out of the ordinary on the gauges was it was running hotter than normal (210 or so) from being stopped at the light. anything i should worry about? its never done anything like this before.

Re: car just died today Has your car set any codes? Maybe a crank sensor malfunction? Be sure your battery post connections are clean and tight, than insure same goes for grounds, including PCM grounds on back of cylinder heads. If you have a DTC P0603 this means PCM has lost power or ground momentarily, than idle relearn may have to reset and this could cause stalling. Check it out.
