Well it seems the old girl is "powering down" on me occasionally now. Has happened 3x now while driving. At low-speed or idle, but in-gear. Car is C4 auto trans.
Symptom is complete power outage. Engine immediately quits, radio, lights, other internal electrical also go out. In all cases, after a few mins (usually including several shifts of the gear selector trying to get it restarted), everything comes back and behaves normally.
I'm wondering if this could be NSS related? Car is known to have occasional issue where shifter needs to be pushed full fwd to get NSS lockout to allow starting.
Q's:
1) Can NSS this be the issue? Situation occcurs in Drive most frequently
2) What else can cause a fully recoverable power outage like that?
Thanks in advance for some guidance/help here...
