Last week when we had that snow storm in Atlanta, I got home ok and parked the car for 2 days. When I was ready to venture out, the car started fine, I let it warm up for approximately 15 minutes. I drove out my driveway up the street, all the sudden the car died, I meant it just stopped, no power or anything. It started back up a few minutes later, but now I am afraid to drive it for the same thing might happen when I am out in a busy street. Any idea why it happened? Thank you for your help!

 

Sounds like a loose battery cable or ground.

 

When it died what was left? Does the car have a CEL? Were the dash lights all lit up? Have you had the car scanned for codes?

Deal with any codes that you have. If you don't have a code, you should check your fuel pump relay.

Side note: You shouldn't let your car warm up. Start it and drive away. If it's under 0 degrees, maybe let it warm up for 60 seconds before driving it. That's it.

 

Thank you! I'll check on it tomorrow.

 

No, it did not show any code. Not a single light came on, just dead. After a few minutes I was able to start it up. Took it home & haven't drive it since. I'll get it check out. Thank you!

 

Did the radio ask for the code?

Usually when a car stalls, the dash lights light up as if you turned the car on and did NOT start it. So if you had a black out, you likely have a battery cable issue. Maybe very loose or broken.
