I own a 2002 mustang GT 57000 miles on it. My big problem is when I am driving at highway speed or streets speed the power just cuts off completely. The power goes everything with it from stereo to power steering. i have no after market stereo or anything else that could drain the power. What could the problem be? I have a little boy and dont need to slam into a wall cause the power goes off so please help me.

 

The power steering has no correlation with the electrical system in your car. Are you saying the engine shuts off completely?

 

yes everything goes dead but i can still restart it right away and its fine it only does it every now and then

 

WOW, that is very crazy not to mention kind of rare, (and double tough to diagnosis viaa forum), that the car completely shuts off during normal operation. A couple of things come to mind, (granted they are all guesses and might not be the problem), that could shut the car off while under normal operation. A faulty "roll over/collision" fuel shut off switch, a faulty ECM, major short to ground, intermittent cam sensor, intermittent alternator, ext. Hard to say man. Can you give any more details?

The topic says while cruising, I should have probably said decellerating, but I said that in my post and I've noticed a lot of people don't realize it dies when they get out of the gas while driving. [8D]

Everything just goes dead i get the battery icon light up then the others then power goes off its kinda like when you stall out. i can have it in any gear and even neutral and it does it. It doesnt do it everyday but enough to be a problem . ive taken it in to the dealership and they said its fine and it didnt do it when they had it so there worthless .

 

Have you done the IAC mod?

 

is with you holding the clutch in?

 

It has done it with the clutch in and not in slowing down just driving around and even on highway. No mods have been done to the motor or eletrical.
