2000 GT dying while driving

Hello-

Thanks in advance for your time.
I live in Sacramento, and have a 2000 GT with about 55K on it. Yesterday, my wife was driving it on the freeway around 7:30 am (so it was only about 85 degree at the time), when it suddenly died on her. She pulled over to the shoulder, turned the key, and nothing (all of the dash lights worked, but it wouldn't start, turn over, nothing).

She called a tow, and about 15 minutes later tried to start it, and it started up just fine. She pulled off the freeway to head to a dealer, and it died again. Waited about 15 minutes, started up fine, drove for about 10, died again.

She finally got to the dealer (it died as she pulled in), and left it. It's been there 2 days, and the service department says they can't find anything wrong with it, it's running fine.

????

I have a feeling they are going to ask me to pick it up, and call them when it becomes a problem again.

Any ideas, folks?

Thanks again,

Phoo

Well I had the same problem with my 95GT no one could tell me why that happing I later found out it was my ignition moudule. What was happing is when I drove my car for a while the chip was heating up and when it got hot the car turned off and it wouldnt start for awhile which was until that ignition moudule cooled off so the ignition moudule was going out.And is was really easy to replace I bought it from auto zone for $50 or $60 bucks seeing how is costs about approx.$160 at the dealer. I hope this helps.l good luck :biggrin:
