Engine quit while driving because of failure of EFI relay which cut off power to the fuel pump. Had to have car towed. Part was replaced - old part not available. 1) I was pulling out of a parking lot into a local street when the engine died. Fortunately, there was no traffic near and I was able to push the car back into an adjacent lot. 2) however, if I had been on the freeway just one block away, I would have lost power steering, power brakes, and have been in much heavier traffic, which could easily have led to a high-speed collision. 3) I had the car towed to an independent shop where, for $300, they diagnosed the failure and replaced the defective part. The mechanic commented that the design of supplying power to the fuel pump through two different relays was poorly thought out.
