Driving into work and the engine starts sucking air through the inner cabin, all of a sudden the engine just dies completely however the electronics stayed on. I tried to start the car after letting it cool for 2 hrs and the engine started shaking rapidly, there are no engine lights or alarms on the dash. I get the car towed home, I test the battery and alternator and they both check out. I had a full tune up and tried to fire it up again and the crank wouldn't turn and noticed the starter was engaged. I replaced the starter and the car crank with no problem however the engine knocked uncontrollably. This car failed on me and cut off completely with no controls , had I been on the highway I could have lost my life.
