DME relay going kaput?
1991 C4 with 114k
Putzing out of my neighborhood in 2nd gear at 20 mph, the car suddenly loses all power; engine is still running but nothing happens when you press the accelerator. Engine dies when I shift into neutral like I expected it would.
After a slightly extended crank the motor restarts and the car runs like a champ for the duration of the drive.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this seem like a classic symptom of a faulting DME relay?

Mine went out this past weekend. The engine died while doing about 40-45. Never could get it restarted. Interesting that your engine was on but not responding to throttle inputs. I am not sure if that is the DME relay, but I am by no means someone to listen to.

Change the DME relay it's cheap insurance. FYI if your relay part No. starts with 944 you have the old version.
