Went for a little run this morning and temps got up to point the needle was straight up and down on the oil temp gauge, first time ever that high of a reading and it is a warm day, engine sounding great and running smooth, get to the stop sign at the end of the down ramp and engine stalls! Restarting with no problem off I go and get to the next stop sign about 500 meters and engine dies again, rstarts and runs fine but will not idle! What has happened??!

I'm sure it isn't too serious as it ran soooooooo good, smooth power and no hiccups at all, it was early Sunday morning with no traffic; so yes it was a high speed run but on a divided highway with no traffic, I passed no one. Anyway enough justification of the speeding, approximately 9 minutes of 100 MPH plus, then slowing normally to the stop sign at the end of the off ramp, temp gauge reading right in the middle where it has never been before (and I have read here previously that gauge and it's info is basically useless) and engine stalls, starts up again with no problem but stalls again at next stop sign which is approx. 500 meters. Engine still runs smooth with good power like before but will not idle, it stalls! Any thoughts on what has happened much appreciated and needed!
