    Anti lock light turned on and car no work

    So I was driving home from work last night in a 91 318is and experienced something that was a little unsettling. I came off a red light and was approaching 5k rpm in second gear when all of a sudden the car became unresponsive. I looked down and the only thing out of the ordinary was the anti lock light on. I shifted into third and pushed down the throttle and still nothing. The car didn't feel like it was fully coasting, it almost felt like I was in second under 20 mph and took my foot off the gas(even when I was in neutral for a couple seconds). At this point I was very concerned and started looking for a place to turn off. As I went to turn right into a church the light turned off and the car was back to normal.

    I tried searching as much as I could but wasn't able to find anything on this specific subject. Anyone have any ideas of where to even start with this? Don't want to get stuck somewhere in the middle of the night so for now it's going to be kept at home until I can get this issue sorted.

    Maybe you should go to that church more often? Maybe check the fuel pump relay and related electrical fuel supply components. Did anything else stop working when you experienced the presence of God?

      Nothing else stopped working to my knowledge, didn't touch the brakes as I was trying to make it off the road. Everything electrical was fine. Total time that the car was unresponsive was maybe 10 seconds. Looks like I'll start by checking into the fuel system which I was already planning on doing this weekend. I've been had a faint gas smell around my car the past week but found no visible leaks so far.

        I would look into the fuel pressure and the source of the smell.
        Good luck!
