I'm sorry about that!!!

I had a car once... a 1984 Honda Accord Hatchback. Yeah, Hondas are supposed to be reliable and it WAS 1995 when I bought it so it wasn't ridiculously old but it was still seemingly held together with rubberbands and glue.

LOL. I called the car "Satan" and actually grew attached to it. It was the most temperamental, crappiest car I've ever seen or driven but I had no money so I had to put up with it. And I had it for two years. It would do the same thing you just described.. I'd be driving and the fucker would just DIE. No warning, no nothing, it was just as if everything on the car STOPPED. It did this every couple of weeks and I kept getting it fixed but nothing really worked. Something to do with the carburetor float getting stuck and something else that they could never seem to fix right.

The only way I could get the thing running again was to grab my tire iron, open the hood and bang on the carburetor repeatedly and then try to start the car again. Sometimes I'd be banging on that thing for a good 15 minutes. Not fun when the car is dead in the middle of an intersection!!! LOL.

Good luck and I hope future repairs are easy on your wallet!!!
