It looks like I have a bad bearing. Stock header and pully so they better not give me any poop about fixing it.

This morning when I was driving on the highway and my engine shut off. I had to the radio and stuff. I got the car to side. I try to turn back on twice and it stay on for not even second. then I check the engine and did see anything wrong. on the 3rd or the 4th time it turn back on. Did this happen to anyone before? I think the car was getting enough air into it

Check the vaccum hose that goes from your throttle body to and eventually makes its way to your bypass valve. If you aren't going to do it, at least tell your dealer to look
