I was driving down to Reno from Incline, and my car shut off. I was coasting in gear, going about 60 MPH when my RPMs dropped from about 3k to 0. (The car was still doing 3k RPMs) When I pulled over, I reset the ECU, and it was fine. I continued to drive down to Reno when suddenly it happened again. This time the ECU reset didn't do anything. When I move my key to the ON position the CEL doesn't come on and I cannot hear my fuel pump priming my engine. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it could be?

FWIW: I checked all the fuses, relays, and I believe my fuel pump is fine. Could this be caused by my ECU?

Also, does anyone have an '02 WRX ECU that I might be able to swap into my car to test if that is causing the problem?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
