This morning on my way to work, I braked for a deer in the road. When I tried to re-accelerate, the engine revved and I got a message on the dash to shift into park and then back into gear. I coasted into the parking lot and when i put it in park, realized the engine had shut off. When I try to restart, it cranks over and will start briefly if I push the accelerator pedal. It makes an ugly clicking noise when the engine catches and dies back out. It's been towed to the shop but they can't look at it until monday. Any thoughts? Fuel pump? Engine blown? Powertrain control module? Timing chain? Pretty stressed about this. I do not have the cash for a new engine.
Addl info: I had brakes done 2 days ago and they had to do a lot of pounding to get the rear rotors to release. Could that vibration have damaged the fuel pump or shaken a ground loose?
Truck had been running fine but had developed some road vibration over the past 6 months or so. I attributed it to tires and was going to address before winter. Maybe related?
I know that this is limited info but I sure appreciate any thoughts from you guys. Happy Friday to me. Blah.
