Once RPM's dropped below about 3k the tack and speedo needles dropped to zero.  Motor kept running though.  At the last gas stop I had to bump start it to get going again.  The battery had enough juice to run the ECU, but not enough to turn it over.  The dealer diagnosed, and replaced the rotor under warrenty, along with the battery.
