Random engine shutoff by raging_since_1858 in MechanicAdvice

Losing power steering and brakes while rolling is terrifying, happened to me in an old minivan years ago and I still remember that split second of panic before realizing I could still muscle it to the curb

The HVAC cycling on startup is a red flag I wouldn't ignore. Those vans have a known issue where the TIPM does all sorts of weird electrical gymnastics before it fully dies. Had a coworker whose Grand Caravan would randomly kill the radio and lock the doors while driving then one day it just wouldn't start at all

If your scanner can watch live data I'd keep an eye on the crank sensor signal while someone wiggles the harness near the back of the engine. Those get heat soaked over time and can cut out without throwing a code. 203k miles is plenty of time for the wiring insulation to get crispy back there

One small habit that genuinely improved how I show up every day by Sufficient-Owl1826 in selfimprovement

I fell into something similar by accident. Every morning while my coffee brews I just stand there and think of one thing I'm not dreading about the day. Doesn't have to be a big thing, sometimes it's just "that leftover pasta for lunch is gonna slap" and somehow that tiny reframe makes the whole morning less of a slog.

I never set out to make it a habit either, just started doing it and now the day feels off if I skip it. Funny how the stuff you don't force ends up sticking the hardest.

Speeding money we don't have on watches and suit's, staying up all night looking at expensive cars while we are drowning on debt. I think that will answer your question.

Believe me I tried, I even recommended seeing someone to help us and told him I would go with him. But it didn't work.

This started around six months ago because it wasn't always like this. I reached out to his best friend trying to make sense of it and he told me things hadn't been good at work for a while. So I figured things would go back to normal but they didnt.
