Okay so, this problem got really weird, but the good news is it solved itself. So my engine died around 1AM, while I was mid-donut, I really quickly stopped the car, which was probably my first mistake, I just learned how to do a push/roll start with this car, what I should've done, in hind sight, is taken advantage of the fact that I was still moving and quickly dumped the clutch while in 2nd gear to refire it, but anyways, I got the car back to my place by 3, service departments at dealerships were closed today, so I was gonna have it brought to my Toyota dealership on Tuesday, but I was gonna jump the battery and put some fuel in it just in case it was either a fuel sensor or a dead battery, but I just jumped in the car around 1PM, so 10 hours the car sat in my parking lot, thinking "what the hell, let's try and start it" and it fucking starts. I'm still gonna bring it in tomorrow to have it looked at, but the weirdest part I can't wrap my head around is why did it die while in motion anyways? That's such an odd thing for a car to do. I was in 1st gear at high rpm, then the engine just suddenly cut power, the kind of cut that would happen if I turned the key off and put the clutch in mid-donut, or running out of fuel. So for now the problem is solved, I've turned the car over multiple times within the last few hours, and also got some practice roll starting the car, which is good because I park uphill so if the car won't start one morning I can let it roll out of my driveway and do it that way.
Does ANYONE have any idea why the car shut off on its own in motion? Strangest damn thing I've ever seen.
