Thanks for the responses guys. I'm not quite skilled enought to differentiate one from the other on these things...other than agreeing it's electrical...will probably be taking my baby to a good shop nearby for the final diagnosis. I do appreciate the input though..and will explore these things w/the mechanic. Many thanks.

Hi gang.
I'm hoping for some insight from you all. Tonight my M6 died on the freeway...just a sudden loss of power, followed shortly by the engine dying. After having the car towed home, i tried starting it again just for kicks. The car immediately started and idled normally. The car had run just fine up until the moment it died, no clues of any kind. Is it the ECU? Any and all comments and/or experiences are appreciated.


Sounds electrical to me. Start by checking the wiring bundles from the battery to the engine/DME/etc for loose connections. Also, if you haven't lately, it might be a good idea to replace the mani and fule pump relays. They go south after a while and can cuse wierd problems such as you describe.

Good Luck,

Bob Duckworth
