I have searched for hours, and cannot figure out what the hell is wrong with my car. Here it goes, full story.
Car ran perfectly fine for a year (first m50 -until coolant line kinked then BOOM- and the current m50), and a hard line went. It sat for a while until I decided to get off my lazy ass and fix it. It was the hard line that goes into the master cylinder and runs to the soft line right below the brake booster. Went back to dailying it for a week. Then the day I bought my borbets, I went to the bank to get some money for them and on the way home I was slamming gears having fun being stoked I am finally buying my favorite wheels. As soon as I slammed 3rd I let off to make my turn, mid turn i have no power steering...great now my power steering went. That was until I went to hit the gas and went no where. Puzzled, I try to restart it, cranks, no fire, so I sat for a minute or two and tried to crank it, would crank until the battery died. My house was maybe 1/4 mile away down a hill. So I pushed it about 250 feet to the top of the hill, and halfway down the hill I decided to try and start it, fires up normal...now I am thinking wtf? I drive it into the parking spot and decide to take it for a spin to see if it does it again. I drive about 1.5 miles down the road and turn around, hasn't shut off, so I think well I was slamming gears before what if I do it now and see if it does it. So I slam 2nd and 3rd, let off, still running, so I get back home and make my u-turn to my parking spot and get next to my truck and poof shuts off again. At this point I am pissed, I am spending 1500 dollars on new wheels and have a car that won't stay running. I wasn't turning down the wheels so I dealt with it. Get the wheels and shit on park it, go out that night to work and starts perfect..alright..well I get 3/4 way to work BAM..dies. You have got to be kidding me. Except this time it starts up right away, no cranking forever. Well it dies about 5 more times (on 5 different drives, not all the same drive) so I park it til I can drive it 20 minutes away into allentown to a friend's mom's shop. So I drive it there and I am about 15 minutes into my trip with ZERO issues, sitting at a light, BAM turns off..fuck you..starts up perfectly..as i'm letting the clutch out (around 1100 RPMs) it shuts off again..now I am pissed. Starts right back up and get to the shop. We put a code reader on it and the only code it throws is (I believe the number was 73) with "Speed Sensor" or something like that. So I ask my friend's mom's boyfriend who runs the shop and he asked if my speedometer worked, yeah it works..he has no idea what it could be then. It made the drive home with no issues. It dies on complete randomness, there is no exact thing you have to do to make it shut off, it just picks a time/place and decides to shut off. It doesn't sputter AT ALL, it's like when you're on a computer and while you're on the computer you unplug the computer and it just shuts off instantly..that's exactly what my car does. You could be at 5k RPMs, it will be at 0 in a split second with the motor off in the same split second. I don't understand it, would greatly appreciate if you could help. I'll list the things I have replaced (just 4 little things).
Replaced:
-Main relay
-Fuel pump relay
-the other engine relay in that little area.
-Plugs
Cliffs:
-Car ran perfect for a year
-Car shuts off INSTANTLY at any given time
-2 occasions it refused to restart
-More than 5 occasions it just shut off but restarted
-had a code reader on it, threw no codes except (i believe 73) speed sensor
I don't believe I missed anything, thanks!
EDIT: I have checked grounds, all are tight.
