I had a Dodge omni that did that exact thing and it turned out to be a $15.00 part that was located under the distributor. I forgot the name of the part though. .
Answerthis same problem happened to me..i have yet to solve it tho. it was running, then it started running rough so i pulled over to take a look under the hood. It never did turn back on..(84 Toyota celica)Well this happened to me, i ad to change the ignition module and it ran just fine
If it doesn't start or even turn over, I would suspect you have a dead battery possibly from an alternator that failed.
Have someone check your fuel pump pressure,if you lose fuel pressure while driving,and then it comes back that would explain why it seems to start by itself.
Sounds like over heated starter or bad electrical connection.
I have never heard of a cam belt. I have a 2000 Kia Sportage and the timing belt went out while I was driving. The engine stopped running,and I tried to start it back and it would not start. The engine would turn over and over but would not start. Found out after a four hundred dollar fuel pump it was a broke timing belt. these engines are contact / so when a timing belt breakes you ben the valves resulting in no compresion so the engine will not start until you replace all the valves and belt with setting up the timing
timing belt probably
Check your water pump or hoses for leaks. check your radiator and bleed it. You could be having a over heating problem.
If one of my tires suddenly lost pressure while I was driving, I would pull over as soon as possible and replace that tire with my spare tire.
Is there gas in the vehicle ?
The alarm should turn off once you start the car. If the alarm is going off while you are driving, pull over and remove the fuse.
At what speed - 70mph would be a journey of just over 9 hours, while at 55mph, it would take over 11.6 hours !
Has anyone looked ay the timing belt? Or done a compression test ? that's a pretty broad question.
possibly?
If you are feeling sleepy while driving, you should pull over as soon as it is safe to do so.
