The car lost power and engine stalled in the middle of freeway. Engine was shut down, and warning lights came on. On the central monitor display, check engine light came one, emission failure light, and sh-AWD (super handling all wheel drive system) failure notices. I didn't want to waiting 3-5 hours for towing (earlies that Acura can provide) in 115 degrees heat, so I kept on trying to start the vehicle again. It started after like 30 attempts, but the entire car, including inside cabin, smelled like fuel. Dealer is saying it's the fuel pump, but can't guarantee.
