Yaris Engine died

[Debmcfly]

Hi Folks,

Am new here and I was hoping someone could offer me some advice.

I am a new driver and bought an 02 yaris with 35k miles on Thursday. Been driving it with no problems until tonight. I was driving up a hill towards a tight bend and had slowed down and was in 2nd gear. All of a sudden the power felt like it had gone out of the car and I had the accellerator pedal right to the floor but nothing, it pretty much died. I put handbrake and hazards on and then re started car. Moved off no problem and fine for the rest of the 15 minute journey.

I was really shaken and am quite nervous in case it happens again. Wondered if anyone else has any experience of this?

Other than this I love my car and am hoping its nothing serious.

Thanks.
