I'm curious if anyone has a diagnosis for what happened below
So I was driving with my son the other day...
As we pulled out of our neighborhood, I noticed my son didn't have eye protection (windscreen was in the "race" position).
I stopped the car to get his sunglasses out of the trunk, but I forgot that the car was in gear, I rapidly let off the clutch to get out of the car, and the car naturally stalled.
When I tried to restart the car...nothing. No fuel pump clicking, no turnover, nothing. The car is dead, and the fuel gauge isn't reading. I assumed the battery was dead (I had left the lights on a few weeks ago and I had recently charged it).
So I call my wife and try to jump start the car with my portable charger...still nothing, no turnover, no fuel pump clicking, fuel gauge still not reading .
I sit for about a 1/2 hour waiting for a flatbed, on a whim I try to start the car and she fires up not problem and I'm off.
I take the battery to have it checked, and it's reading just fine. Plenty of charge, and the car had been running perfectly since.
I'm baffled....any ideas out there?
Many thanks, as always.
