All dashboard lights lit up.

Restarted the car and then it was fine.

What the hell happened?

Have you checked your air filter at all?

So many things it could be.

Were you slowing down when it happened?

No. Could that be the culprit?

You should always check your air filter or get a replacement about every 20000 miles.

But I do recall having a similar problem with my old PT Cruiser.

But it would only happen when I was slowing down to a stop.

Mazda have had an interesting issue with the parking sensor... especially ones in that decade.

Keep an eye on this.

Is the license plate sticker up to date? My buddy's car was making a weird noise the other day but his new sticker made the noise go away.

Car shutting off and all lights on is a sign that the engine stopped, but electronics are still working. Next time you start your car, don't turn the key all the way, you'll notice all the lights come on as a sort of "self check" of the indicators.

In other words, it could be a LOT of things, anything that will cause your engine to abruptly stall

Yep,my Dads truck had to get towed from Walmart Friday for a bad fuel pump.Didnt throw a code but since he just filled the gas tank on a 375k pump we knew that was it.Hardly ever do you have to change a fuel pump on an empty tank lol

TC if your car is putting out any codes Oriellys and Auto Zone will read the codes for free.Unless your in BFE then its NAPA know how!
