maybe your car is trying to tell you that you shouldnt be going 100 mph on public roads, especially twice in a day.

Your car is probably limited to ~100mph by a fuel cut which would cause stalling.

I doubt that, i've had mine up to 125. And if it were a fuel cut, it would just act like a rev limiter, not completely stall out the car. My guess would be CPS or ECM. Both are known to cause stalling, but its mostly while idling.

turns out it was the crank sensor mixed with an 8 year old original motor. $200 later and a couple min under the car and like a whole new car!!
