car stalling out at speed.

Is this an automatic or a manual transmission...if a manual did you have the clutch pedal in or out when this happened. It is pretty much impossible for a vehicle to "stall" wen it is in motion. You need to provide a bit more info on exactly how it all went down...
 
its an MSP, so manual...

and this particular MSP has been beaten to hell and back... (not necessarily by current owner)

but as he said... details are needed. is there gas in it? when you turn the car one do the lights light up? will the engine crank? is there a hole in the block?
 
wastegate? egr? did it happen while you were cruising or did it happen when you put the clutch in? and lights come on prior to stalling?

check your maf it lost the signal at one point or another. check to see if the plug came loose or if the coupler came loose. happend to me, as soon as the maf is not senseing air passing through it and the car is in motion it will shut off the car. i was boosting and blew my coupler off cheap rubber one at the time going about 35 in second gear.
 
my bad boht the non detailed post. but i was doing 55 and i pushed the clutch to the floor put it in 5th and when i was slowing down i et the clutch out and had it in nuetral and my rpms just dropped to 0 and my car shut off and then it like started itself back up.
 
so you roll started it after it died, and it kept running just fine?


I guess I'm just failing to see the problem here if it fired back up
 
no i didnt roll start it. ohk this is exactly what happens. ill make like a left or right turn. get up to speed then when i come to a stop sign i usually just jet hte clutch out and have the car in nuetral and brake. but my rms will bounce down to 0 my car will shut off and jsut fire up on its own. i was told today it could be a air/fuel deal
 
dude so did i for like 2 months!! it sucked i always had to tap the gas when i put the clutch in out of boost it sucked. Get it fixed!
 
ima go ahead n clean the egr valve 2 owners before me said it was cleaned but really idk cause my car was ***** inside and out.

Have your fule pressure checked. If this happens more often when you're below aquarter tank of gas, it's probably a bad fuel pump.
 
you are probably overboosting due to the shot wga mine did that as well., felt good for awhile until i got a boost gauge and saw that i was at 9 pounds stock.
