I was driving on I-85 at 80mph... then all of a sudden, it felt like my car just lost all power.... i mean my engine was still on but as i stepped on the gas, nothing. As i was still rolling(about 35 mph now) I turned off engine and tried starting it again. Still nothing. My car is now in driveway and cannot start. It turns over and everything, I even checked timing belt. I dont know whats going on. Can it be the fuel system maybe? Throw what ever you guys can at me.
Car Wont Start??
- Thread starter jdma70
- Start date
Check the basics first
Check for spark (Grab a spare plug pull a lead put the plug in and ground the body of the plug, I use a jumper cable then crank it and watch for a zap)

Got spark?? Yes. Then must be lack of fuel. Pull cold start injector fuel line (banjo fitting on intake manifold) and place the end into a jar/container. Try cranking the engine. (The fuel pump should run, but won't stay running in the 'on' key position until ECU sees the engine is running).
Is fuel squirting into the jar/container?? No?? Then find section in TRM...on checking fuel delivery, and get busy.
If you got no spark, find the section in the TRM on 'NO SPARK' and get busy.

Shouldn't a question follow a phrase like "My car quit while driving 80mph, I checked my codes only to find no errors, blah, blah, blah....."
