Mario, If you're driving 80 MPH the DDP will kick in and shut the engine down. DDP = "Dumb Driver Protection." It has a Rev Limiter programmed in the computor.jd

What causes a 2000 Chevy Prizm to die after running for a while when it has a new battery and starts fine?

I had a similar problem with my 2000 Chevy Prizm. It would die intermittently, even when moving. The problem was that the onboard computer (ECM?) has a ground wire attached to the engine. When this wire would come loose the onboard computer would shut the engine off. A mechanic refastened the ground wire to the engine and car has been fine ever since. BTW, I suspect that the previous owner of my Prizm was doing some electrical work and did not reattach the above ground wire properly.
