Yea... just put a new door on my 240sx after a little cut-off/battle with the guardrail (god damn saturns)... and decided to do a tune up (new plugs, wires, rotor, distributor) and my car doesn't like me anymore.

I'm coming off the freeway doing about 55, and i dont feel like downshifiting, so i throw the car in netural (5-speed) and as soon as i pull the clutch up again, the rpm's go to 0 and the steering doesn't like me anymore either (power steering). I throw down the clutch and hit it back up, and she gets me home luckly.  No clue what happened.  Any ideas?

0 rpms means your engine isnt turning...are u sure it was 0? loss of power steering means the engine wouldnt be running either...sounds odd. also this is a tech question
