Car died on me while driving?
So I went fishing last night and came back home around 4am. I was about 5 minutes away from my house when my car just died on me while I was driving. I noticed that the engine, battery, and oil light went on. The steering wheel was very hard to turn as I tried to pull over. I managed to pull to the side and stopped my car. I then turned off the car for a couple minutes then turned it back on. It started off fine so I drove it for about a minute then it died on me again. I repeated the process until I was able to reach my house. I have no idea what is causing this problem. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

First thing to check is the fuel pump. Car runs fine then just dies usually the fuel pump. Next thing is maybe a fuel filter or a plugged fuel line.
Most likely cause of sudden engine stop is a failed crank sensor works fine from cold lasts a few miles then bang - no engine, is fine again when it cools down, cheap easy fix
Warning lights coming on and steering getting heavy are all connected with the engine shutting down.
Check you have fuel in the tank and then check fuel supply lines and pump for problems.
Honda's have a common problem with the main relay located under the steering wheel column. When you turned the vehicle off the motor was already off which is why the dash lights all came on and you didn't have power steering. The other thing is this can also happen when the alternator goes out and the battery gets too low to run the motor. However the fact you restarted the car several times and still made it home makes that an unlikely answer to you problem. You need a mechanic.
- Why did my 2003 Honda Pilot engine just died while i was driving around 30-40 miles per hour? It virbrates every now and then when i hit 35-40 miles really bad of the whole car and I also have a check engine light and vtm-4 light on. I was able to turn off to a side street put in park and shut off and then started the car back up and it was fine again. Any ideas?
- Car was extremely low on gas and I stalled while driving slow? Car was extremely low on gas and I stalled while driving slow. I immediately turned off the car. After 3 seconds I turned the switch and the car started and I drove 1 mile to the nearest gas station. My question is was this stall area from low gas? The car didn't do it again drives great. Its a Honda crv 1998 automatic.
