#12 of 17 Sudden jerking and stalling by megaquark Oct 07, 2007 (1:02 pm)
I was driving down the road and the car began to lose power. Then it picked up again Then a clunk and lots of noise. Had it towed. The harmonic balancer had come off and wedged itself between the crankshaft and the frame. Now I am still getting occasional clunking where it feels like the engine for a brief second has stopped completely. It almost feels as if I have hit the brakes pretty hard for a brief second and then it keeps running fine like normal. This is at highway speed. A clunk and jerk all at the same time. At regular speeds when I get to a light, a few times it has just died - then restarted right afterwards. I am thinking that the harmonic balancer thing is a symptom and not a cause. Something is freezing the engine for just a second on occasion. Is this something that a bad distributor could cause? I replaced it a year ago with a used one. I can't think of anything else. I don't lose power and everything else runs fine. I can't create a situation that makes it do this - it seems emtirely random. It literally feels as if I am just driving along and the whole engine transmission stops for just a fraction of a second. Keep in mind that a normal stall won't cause this jerking sudden stop motion. If it just dies, it should coast. This is more like tapping the brake with your left foot while still on the accelerator with the right - except the feeling is from the engine and not the wheels. It's really hard to explain. Any ideas?

I have a 1995 millenia, runs great for about 15 to 20 miles the it's like you just shut off the key. I pull it off to the side of the road and wait for about 5 to 10 minutes and it starts right back up!! My mechanic put in a brand new distributor from mazda but it is still doing the same thing. It has 225000 miles everything else works perfect. Please help.
