don't ask me how this happend...

I was driving down I-5 at about 75 MPH, i turned off onto a side road, and went about 100 yards and the car shut off. full tank... what could make the car shut off? so i poped the hood and the damn spin on filter was laying in the fenderwell. i screwed it back on by hand (no tools with me) and primed the pump with the plunger. it shook like it was going to ecplode. but it was alive. drove it for another 1.5 hrs home and changed both fuel filters..

odd part about this is i hadn't messed under the hood for a few weeks when the thing fell off.

I know what you mean about being happy to hear it come back to life.
