Cruising down the highway at 70 mph, car purring like a kitten for 20 minutes straight...then slight spudder and bam car dies. powerlogger shows coolant temp spike from a steady 175 to 260 then back to 175 right before it dies. pull to the shoulder turn key off then starts right back up, sometimes makes it home without another issue...sometimes only makes it 200 yards before the same thing happens. I am putting some miles on my car after a rebuild before tuning it and this is killing me. this happened before the rebuild as well although not nearly as often.
I replaced the coolant temp sensor as well as the plug and still the same thing happens. plug is getting 5 volts with the key on. checked the wires as well as I could trace them on the drivers side and then where they go through the fire wall on the passenger side and couldn't see any damage.
I am calling upon this community of bada$$ motherf'ers to help me out. I am not an electrical guy...more like that guy who needs you to draw a picture so the more detailed you can be with troubleshooting the better.
it means a lot to me to get this fixed and any help is greatly appreciated.
