Car just quit???
So I was sitting in line at a drive-thru in nuetral and all of a sudden the car just quits. I crank, it fires up and quits again. Does this like three times. I finally crank it up and get on the gas to get it move. I gave it a quick lookover afterwards but I haven't had a chance to get out under the hood and really check it so any ideas?

oh yes yes yes....... good point out bro.. check that voltage across the alt. if its below 12.5 its done. thats the lowest it can ever get before frying out. a good alternator and battery combo will yield at least a constant 13.5 at least with lights heat blah blah blah on.

Nothing. I took the intake piping off and cleaned the throttle body a couple of days ago. That's it! Drove the car back and forth to work tonight and no problems. I'm gonna go over everything tommorrow morning. Thanks people.

No more problems. The only thing I saw when I checked it out this morning was that I forgot to tighten one of the clamps on the intake piping coupler when I put it back on after cleaning the throttle body.
