Re: Car stops while driving.

"Intermittent" problems are the hardest to diagnose........if you can't recreate it, you are at the mercy of the person giving a full description of what happens.....

Basically, a bulletin search, a test drive, and visual inspection is all you can do.....more than likely, it's an electrical connection.....sometimes you get lucky pulling on the right harness......

Can't say it couldn't happen, but the gas cap shouldn't cause this problem....the gas cap is a seal, pure and simple.......what causes a vacuum in the evaporative system, is if the purge and vent valves are not working correctly or a kinked/blocked line....high vacuum should cause a code to be set......
