Car is shutting off - please help
 

Whats up guys, new to the forum and pretty new to rotaries. Anyways, I have a first gen 12a and yesterday, for the first time ever, the car just died on me while i was driving down the street. I have had it for almost 2 years, taken good care of it and do not abuse it. It has ran great, with no problems up till now, and it only has 60k original miles. However, during normal driving around town yesterday, the car shut off three or four times and Every time would fire right back up. What was weird to me is the the rpms would just die, drop to 0. This happened twice while driving down the street at 25-30 mph. And as I said, it would fire right back up, while still rolling with the engine off. Ive never had any car do this before, and I could not see anything obviously wrong with the car. Any info would be much appreciated, especially if any of you have experienced similar things.
Thanks,
Robb

A slight update, as I thought it my be a spark related problem, after changing the plugs i watched the thing die a few more times. After it dies, there is a mechanical clicking noise, like it is trying to do something. I have no idea what is causing this, anyone ever have a similar problem?

search in the first gen section.

maybe alternator
