2003 Expy
Hi GUys
Long time no see! Just had a quick question. The Expy sputtered and died while backing out of a parking spot.
Had to have it towed and will not know anything till the morning when the mechanic can look at it. It had gas. Just sputtered and died.
Any ideas on what this may be to ease my mind. I am having visions of some horrible mechanic bill in my future.
What say you oh wise ones

I had a similar problem, though mine didn't die.
On mine, I went to autozone and used their OBD reader. It said I had a #6 cylinder misfire. I went to swap the plug and found out that the screw securing coilpack on top had backed off about 1/2 inch and water had gotten into the boot and tube. I swapped the plug and replaced the boot and haven't had a problem since. I don't know if mine was an isolated incident or a dealership mishap considering I bought it from the dealership 20k miles prior.
