- Engine
- Hemi 5.7
Scenario:
- First vehicle at red light; crossing intersection to go enter EB Loop 202 onramp
- Heavy throttle application (approx. 50%) on green light
- Cross traffic vehicle decides to roll through the intersection (her red light)
- Full brake applied; lay on horn
- I can see the driver as she looks left (towards me) due to the horn. She is talking on her cell phone (holding phone to left ear)
What I Expected:
- My truck stops, she continues rolling through, having been annoyingly interrupted by a red light and cross traffic.
- I swear, apply throttle, and continue on my way
What I Got:
- My truck stops, she continues rolling through, having been annoyingly interrupted by a red light and cross traffic.
- I apply throttle and get nothing
- Tachometer shows 0 RPM
- EVIC says "Shift to Park"
- I am at a dead stop in the middle of the intersection
- I shift to park, restart engine, shift to drive and go
What. The. F**K.
Notes:
- The ignition key was not moved; it was in "run" the entire time
- There are no other keys on the key chain; there is no additional weight on the key
- Truck is less than 1 year old; approx 20K miles
- All scheduled maintenance completed
- 50% fuel in tank remaning
Any thoughts, ideas, similar experiences?
I am fighting an emotional reaction right now. My family was in the car; words cannot describe how thrilled I was that the engine stalled (I am being sarcastic).
