Earlier today, I started Giddyup (fully warmed up from running many errands) and was about to put her in gear and drive off and she suddenly died...just cutoff ... she would still crank hard but NOT restart.
As she has never done anything like it before, I was startled and while I did see the red SKIM led come on while turning the key, I didnt pay much attention to it as I was also looking at all the other lights, including the check engine light, which was now lit.
I also popped the hood and cowl, looking for any signs but found nothing obviously amiss.
However, while I was standing by the DS door calling my daughter for a potential long range rescue, I heard a soft clunk (more then a simple relay click) from near the fuse box, or perhaps ECM, and when I tried her again, she more or less started right up.
I finished running my errands and got home without any further incident but when I hooked up the OBD2 reader to check for DTCs, there were no codes set in memory.
I am guessing that something is starting to go amiss with the SKIM module cutting off fueling and I am open to any and all suggestions on how to proceed with diagnostics and fixes to prevent this from happening again!!!
Also specifically wondering --
1) if it could be something as simple as replacing the key fob battery?
2) what is the relay that I heard reset and where exactly is located?
