Help with service engine.

[Kadenaaron66]

Now that ive fixed the abs ring problem, i was driving for 25 minutes on the highway and my gas just stop working. I put the car in neutral to be able to move over into a parking lot. The service engine light came on for a minute then shut off. Im at a loss now with the car. My fiancé wants to get rid of it.

Hey Dunder Mifflin - Don't give up just yet.

What is the year of the car? It sounds like this is electrical in nature. Download a code scanner on your smartphone (assuming you have one), and buy a $10 - $20 OBD-II dongle plug in. It will put you way down the road to resolving this.

Also, when you say your gas just stop working ... do you mean that no matter what level you pushed the gas pedal, the engine speed would not respond? But it did idle, right?

Be as Mickey Mouse as you can with describing the incident. I'm the world's worst at trying to describe something.

So the car doesnt shut off, no matter how hard i push, the car just doesnt move or rev or anything. It just stops.

Something electrical. But that's all I can estimate. I realize it would be days before you could get the OBD-II dongle but if you had one already we'd probably be 80% further down the road to fixing this. Amazon has plenty of them.

Of course I'm assuming the vehicle is throttle by wire. If it is not, perhaps the throttle cable has come loose somehow. Maybe one of the site geniuses will chime in...

Its only when im on the highway for more than 20 minutes but ive spent 1500$ on the car already, trying to figure it out.
The last time ive had the engine scanned, it said a misfire & that was it

Now thinking it could be something with the electrical in the transmission.

Misfire codes could indicate a problem with the engine wiring harness.

Here is an example of what wiring damage can do:

Massive misfire cylinder 1 -- SOLVED (wire corrosion)

Update; i went to autozone and used an engine coder, it said one code.
Which was: P0796.

There are different trouble codes being reported. First it was a misfire, now it's a transmission error code.

Transmission problems sometimes include a flashing gear indicator display. Is this the case when your Mirage goes into Limp Mode?

Also, similar problems have been caused by cheap LED lamps and cheap OBD bluetooth devices plugged in that confuse the car's electronics. However, this usually lights more trouble indicators on the dashboard than just the Check Engine Light. Do you have anything plugged into your OBD port, or have any LED lamps installed? The LEDs could have been installed by a previous owner. Though according to your symptoms it's unlikely to be the case.

Troubleshooting over the internet can be difficult and we're all limited here in trying to figure out your problem. If you are unable to make sense of what's going on, it might be best to take it to a competent mechanic who can sort things out.
