Cranked, replaced... drove and was coming home riding 3rd, car @ 2.25RPM then it kicked with a lose of power, I didn't think anything of it... coming up hill by house, car loses total power, engine dies, RPM read 0, Battery light and oil light on....... So I pulled it off the road and it is stationary..... Well I was like wtf, so I turned key to 0 position took out replaced then put it back in and my car cranked right up again.....
