Engine failure Yesterday going down the highway at 70mph i lost half of my power and then the engine light came on. Made it to my destination and then back home. Friend from up the street came down hooked up his OBD2 Dianolisis machine(computer). Read that it passed. I turned off the motor it would not start back up. Came out the next morning and the truck started back up took a while to start back up. The engine light was off, and on the way to work the engine light came back on and has same problems. Parked it at work, started back up after sitting for 5 hours, came home took my boy fishing , came back home , went to pull into drive way , and for the first time is completley shut off and wouldnt start again, i believe its a fuel problem, november of 2011bob bell ford replaced the high pressure oil pump. This morning came back out and the truck started up, went for ride and same thing happend as usual.

When a catalytic converter is coming apart on the inside, it can restrict air flow and power, and it usually happens or gets worse when the vehicle has been running long enough to generate a lot of heat. Once it cools down, the symptoms can completely go away until you begin to drive it again. It's one possibility.

SOURCE: 2004 Ford Taurus, problem started last night.

Well your vehicle is indicating a problem, did you or your husband check the oil quantity? If it is low replenish the quantity. Also your battery seems to be failing, when you park it for a long time it will gain a little bit of power, thus when you come outside in the morning it would be better off then if you turned off the car and ran into the gas station to refuel and tried to take off. This shouldn't be a problem if your alternator is working properly and charging the vehicle while you drive. You may want to have your husband remove it and bench test it at a Checkers/Autozone or a local auto parts facility.

If you have more details, or questions email me at

You have two pumps,I guess you know that ,if you already did one. Did you check fuel pressure at the rail and check out the electronic pressure regulator? What codes are coming up and do they stay set?

Testimonial: "when i saw expert service i kinda laughed just another rip off but the guy knew his stuff very helpfull "

I have a 1997 buick century with only 45,000 miles on it. Yesterday while going highway speed, the antilock brake light came on, followed by no brakes, gas gauge fell to 0 (has a full tank), no steering,...

If the engine died you would loose power assist steering and power assist brakes. I have to think it was an electrical power failure somewhere.
Will it start up and idle now ?

Oil gauge goes to 80psi while I'm driving 70mph on highway, drops when I slow down. Why?

They are designed to change as the motor changes speed. If you have 80 lbs. of oil pressure than you have very good oil pressure in your engine. If it gets higher than 80, I would talk to service dept. at your local dealer.

CTS 2004 shuts down when making a stop and car lost thrust on Hwy

Tell the dealership uhugh. if the check engine light comes on, there is an error code which gets stored in the computer. on the nicer vehicles (like yours)it stores vehicle information at the time when the error occured....eg battery voltage, rpm, speed, temperature, rpm etc. you need the find out what the error code is. that would give you an idea on where to start looking

hope this helps

The engine is turning fast

sadly the 70mph and 3 grand problem is something that cant be fixed. its because of the gearing these little kias have. believe it or not these were designed for offraoding. one thing you can do is go to a larger size tire a 235/75/R15 fit stuck with little or no rubbing and will bring the highway rpms down but the speedo will be off. as for the check engine light. get us a code and we can help with that too.
