D.o.a.

I was out of town this weekend and notice a crazy issue with my 2008 HHR SS.
While sitting still the car died but started right up. 3x later I was able to pull off and procede down the interstate. It lost power again while cruising at 80mph. I took it to the dealership yesterday but, nothing was found, no codes loose connectors or cracked pipes. I picked it up and headed home today and before I got 1/2 mile down the road it shut off and refused to start. ANY IDEAS????

No but if it won't restart now, the dealer should be able to find the problem. Issues like this can be hard to track. The complete failure should make it easier :)

Issue found!!!!!!!!!! It was the X1 plug under the fuse box(where the dealer puts the sticker for the tune). I lost all iginition power before it was found but, at least it is now fixed.

I will take a wild guess and say it's not connector X1. We would need more information to help.

The dealership just called and said, there was water down on the cylinder #1 coil.
