Default Car died while driving..

Car- 05 enthusiast 72k miles, test pipes & pop charger..

Story- Entered the highway at about 40mph and accelerating (part throttle). Then the car died, but still had power (key obviously still on). If anyone's had an intercooler coupler blow off while WOT, thats exactly what it felt like. Came to a stop, cycled key and car started normally and finished driving to work.


Note- have had SES p1283 for 2 days and it was 50 degrees out, so dont think it was heat soak related to popcharger

Suggestions?

Make sure an O2 sensor didn't rattle loose.

I once had a loose battery terminal connection in my Z and it would cut out. Tightened and fixed!
