My engine died tonight as I was driving along. It died, then all the dummy lights came on including the flashing oil light. I coasted into a parking lot (an unusually well lit parking lot at 11:30 at night) I turned everything off, opened the hood and looked underneath for anything wrong. I never found anything but it smelled like oil, not a real bad smell but definitely not a good one. After a couple minutes of looking around trying to find anything not right, I figured I might as well try to start it up. It started right up but the "At Oil Temp" light flashed at me and went away.
What the hell happened? I checked the oil level but its good, its been three months since I changed it but I havn't put even 2000 miles on it. I couldn't see any leaks going on but I know you cant always see it.
It was already going to the shop Monday for a new coil pack and crank sensor, so I'll get this checked out too :roll:
btw I drove it home, a 25 minute drive (with my dad following behind) with no problems.. just that smell
