While driving on the highway, I noticed a clicking sound resulting from the needle on the rpm meter dropping to 0. The check engine light went on, and my engine stalled. I lost power steering and power braking, and coasted on momentum to the shoulder of the highway. I was able to restart the car, but the check engine light was still on and the engine shut off a few seconds later. I had the car towed home.
