So last night I drove back to base (hour drive of 55mph), and stopped once back on to talk to someone. I had it in park and parking brake engaged. I come back out not even 5 minutes later, disengage the parking brake put it in drive and accelerated...and then it "stalled". I noticed that my steering wasn't working (I could turn the wheel easily but nothing was really happening), and then lost all power and engine RPMs plummeted and died. I paused in disbelief for a second, then trying turning her back on. After a second or two of her cranking she turned right on and no issues after....

Possible the throttle body. Same thing happened to me, started driving and as i pulled out onto the main street by me the engine stuttered and then just quit along with everything else.
