Last week I was driving home in a heavy traffic and all of a sudden my car just stalled and couldn't get it restarted. After several unsuccessful attempts of trying to get it restarted again, I had no choice but to ask someone to push my car to the side to unblock the traffic. Approximately after 4 minutes, I tried to restart the car and sure enough the car restarted as nothing had happened.

I am certain that the engine was not flooded since it never hesitated or ran ruff before and after my incident. It just felt like the car decided to kill the engine for short time for no apparent reason!

Any suggestions are welcomed…

06 Gallardo, 900 miles!

Yes, it was gripping about the "HEAVY TRAFFIC"

Perhaps a sensor telling the car to shut off before it over heats after sitting in that HOT weather and traffic. Kind of like a safety feature.... I dont know, but it sounds fairly logical.

The traffic was heavy and I was stuck for ~45-60 minutes in a stop and go traffic. The temperature gauges we not in the red zone at all.

Mine MY05 has done that twice in about 3500 miles. Both times were when it it was under 1500k miles. Never happened again. Same thing happened with the engine bank warning lights. Both problems seem to have gone away on their own.

It's happened to me as well. Twice. Same scenario - hot day, stop and go traffic, no air flow past the car, no indications of anything over temp - oil, water temps all normal. After about 30 minutes of this, the engine starts to idle rough, then a few seconds later dies. Can't restart. Car will crank and crank, but no fire. After about 5 minutes, the engine will start, but idles rough. Needed to keep my foot into the gas to rev the engine to 2000 - 3000 RPM to keep it running. Once traffic cleared and I got rolling again all was fine. Mine's an 06.

U guys are all talking about e gear cars. right????

Mine's a manual. I don't think it's a transmission issue. Sounds more like a fuel problem.

mine is e gear
