I was going about 70 when the car lost power all of a sudden, got back on the gas and it seemed fine for about 15 more seconds, then it shut off and started smoking. I coasted to the shoulder and sat in the car on the phone for a few minutes thinking it just broke down. A few minutes later, I had to get out and call the fire department. Does this look like a result of the throttle cable acting as the ground wire? I thought the engine blew before reading this post.
