I was driving my girlfriends car coming back home and I was just moderately accelerating on a downhill and all of a sudden the engine cuts out. I had to press the brakes a bit hard to slow down since it was a red light but I was able to pull over and start the engine again and it was fine going home. The engine was at operating temperature and its an automatic. I don't know what it could be. Im used to working on my RX-7 so Im not too familiar with these engines.

I'm pretty sure anyone on here is gonna start by saying clean all the connectors they are known to have green corrosion. Any other thing I would check is the crank angle sensor connector cause I had the problem at idle I started the car it ran soon as I gave it has in idle it shut off. And if u can check codes to see if u have any codes. Good luck

You don't need a scanner to get codes.
