This was a kind of interesting way of my car to break down. I went today to my Girlfriends house to surprise her bringing spicy popcorn since she told me she had the crave at school. As I reached her house I noticed my car was revving at just like 700 RPM and instantly got nervous about it since I felt it was the imminent arriver of its death. It was.

But it conveniently happened at the door of my Girlfriends house, so I went inside and baked stuff and ate and had a great time. But what happened to my car crept up in the back of my head. When I left at 6 which is earlier than normal since the cartels are having random warfare around the city, burning business's, and all loads of crap I started the car and drove off.

It went to 10mph perfectly fine, then to 15mph. Second, 20 mph, 25, in my head I went: "It must have been a minor mis..." *car dies. "Scheisse". I steered the car with the same speed it has already achieved to the next left in front of a yellow house. This yellow house, was the same house the military had found bewildering amount of weapons, a craptoast of ammo, 4 cars used for past crimes, countless laptops and cellphones etc. It was previously used as a warehouse for drug dealers, and it was discovered some months ago and seized by the Mexican army.

There I was in front of that house without much to do than try and find a solution. I opened the hood, and tried to find anything out of order. I yahoo Answered my situation, but it was nil. The car could start fine, it idle steady and sweet, but if I just touched the accelerator it instantly turned off. By that time, I had already called my father and he was on his way, when the neighbourhood patrol arrived. "You cant be parked in front of this household" he told me. "Well, my car has broken down. I cant move it" He responded rather annoyed: "Well, you will have to move it or ill push it, but you cant stay here" I obliged, and used the hill to steer myself to another street and the guard left the site.

My girlfriend came for me then, and gave me some brownies that I couldn't take before because they were still on the oven. We chatted until my father arrived and we went to see Oliver. We went to see how the cars state was. Now, it didn't turn on at all. We left, and my father told me he would try and mend it with the mechanic. Sorry for the unnecessary length to say my car broke down, I appreciate if you read through it. Any suggestions on what might have happened will be thanked.

Dude, that sucks. I can't help you, since I don't know much about mechanical stuff. But that immediately made me think of this:

The neighborhood looks so nice, but it sounds like a 'I gotta get the fuck atta here' kinda place.

Ouch, I hope that Oliver has a speedy recovery! What engine does it have? If it's a diesel, there is an immobilizer which might be messed up.

Possibly a bad tank of gas, which would just need a fuel flush.

My A4 has a bit of a cold right now, a small oil leak.

Dude, I have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever. You could be joking with me right now and I seriously wouldnt know.

I am though always open to learn something new, tell me about them

I thought about it, and It was low in fuel. But I really don't know if that affects anything. Don't laugh at me please

Hahaaha I was inside like: "Come on Oliver, I have treated you well! give me this time and then break down in the city, please I beg of you!" But nothing...

The neighbourhood is absolutely gorgeous. I was really damn close to also living there, but my father decided that it was too far away from the city, (10 miles). I am really sad about his decision.

Oh, and yes, it was those kinds of "OF ALL PLACES YOU COULD DIE!"

What city? Or really, where is this?

Vicente Esteve > jkm7680

It is a 2.0 Litre 8 Valve gas. Two-point-slow, or as I like to say: The little engine that could

I hope your Audi recorders from the cold as well, I know he is in good hands!

How low? Sometimes there is a lot of dirt and other contaminants at the bottom of the fuel tank and running the tank extremely low would cause that stuff to go through the pump+ filter possibly clogging or killing the pump. I won't laugh, we're here to help! Maybe the car just ran out of gas?

She is always the silver lining, I kid you not.

But having Oliver and mending its every niggles has given me such self satisfaction. Oh, and I couldn't forget about Oppo and writing in it =)

Hahah thanks! I did think it ran out of gas, but I have used it with less gas before than whats indicated. I think you may be right about it. Thanks a lot!

Sounds like the fuel pump. Were you low on gas at the time?

The same thing has happened to my car multiple times. The gas level in the tank gets too low and the fuel pump burns up. 90s GM vehicles are notorious for this. Not that that effects your car.

Could also just be a bad tank of gas.

Or the gauge is off slightly and you just ran out; that happened to me in my dad's truck. Would idle fine, but the minute you touched the pedal or put it in gear it would die.

Hmmmm, I hope that it's sorted out easily!

Both of our cars are in good hands, and hopefully will be repaired!

Thanks a whole lot, it really looks like the fuel pump was what caused it. Also, gas here isn't what you would call "high quality"
