Default My Electric Blue GT just died!

Hello,

I was going up a steep mountain to rescue two stranded bike rider friends of mine when the GT cruiser up, errped, and died! I have 2242 miles on it, and although I was driving hard, it wasn't THAT hard. The car won't even turn over, all the electronics *seem* okay; the weirdness though is that it runs through its startup and then the PRND indicator lights up ALL the gears...what did I do?!!?

Meanwhile, my old eight year Neon made it just fine...sigh.

Thank you,

Jonathan

Are all the connections made at the computer? Do you have a fuel pressure guage that you can hook up to check?

Hello,

As it turned out, the repair people said a wiring harness was out of place, that was chafing every time the car shifted. It chafed through, the wire parted, and the car shut down fuel to the engine as a safety thingie...

I pick it back up tomorrow, and see if I can get a better written description. Thank you much for the respnses!

Jonathan
