Ok - so here's the deal.
Background: 02 4cyl 5speed EX Sedan - 125k on body/70k on motor.
I'll be driving, usually slowing while taking a turn or slowing to go over railroad tracks or come to a stop at a light and on 4 separate occasions over the past week, the car just dies like someone flipped a switch.... the dash indicators for battery, brake etc. light up... i can press the clutch and turn the key and the car cranks and starts right up (even while still rolling)...
No CEL, no other driveability issues - plenty of power - no hesitation at any speed - idle seems stable.
Note that when this happens, it does not feel like the car stalling (like someone forgetting to press the clutch in while coming to a stop) - it's just a complete shutdown.
Thoughts?
