CEL While Driving

So things escalated lol

Its with the professionals now, should get a call some time this week with the prognosis
 
yeh so, drove down to SCA the other day and ordered a new CAM position sensor, car didnt make it home.

As im driving I lost acceleration (pedal flat to the floor and no response), lost power steering and brakes while the engine was still running and glided to an abrupt stop over 3 lanes of traffic.
Tried to start it again and it didnt kick over.

This feels exactly the same as that time my Timing belt slipped on my coupe which munched the insides of my engine.
Got a tow truck to drop it down to the mechanics yesterday and they said they will take a look at it this week.

At this stage there is nothing I can do but kick back, laugh and have a fat stack of cash waiting to pay the bill
 
Hows this going ces, I had similar issues a few years ago and turned out to be a faulty battery in my key kicking in the immobilizer for a sec causing a short fuel cut. Hense the loss of power. Can't really relate it to those codes though... :/
 
oh wow, forgot to update this thread :p
Ended up replacing the CAM position sensor and reconfigured my idle (TPS), hasnt skipped a beat since.

The ability to read those stop codes ended up being super useful.
