2000/S-10/2.2L Quit while making a Right Turn
My 2000 S-10 (2.2L engine) was running just fine last night, however I was turning into my subdivision at low speed the truck just quit running without any prior indication and the lights dimmed as I drifted to the side of the road. I turned the truck off and then restarted the engine, which started right away with the ABS light staying on for a about 39 seconds after I pulled back onto the roadway. There was no engine light and I drove the remaining mile home without any problem. The truck started the next morning and all gauges and indications looked fine but I am now extremly worry that car will stop without any warning. Any suggestions on where to start trouble shooting an intermittent issue of this nature.
FYI: I have a friend with the same vehicle who had a similiar indication which turned out to be a throttle position sensor that was intermittent and killed the engine several times while runing down the highway at speed. This repeated over a couple of days with a garage trying to solve but finally replaced the sensor and stated that it goes into fail safe as the cause. Not sure this is right but included all info that I have.
