Question
I was driving my car to church all the sudden it just stop.
I restarted the car, it ignites but not running. My friend checked the fuse, gas pump, altenator. They are fine.
Why? Computer ? Please let me know before I take it to car repair shop. Thank you so much.
Could be many things.How did you test the fuel pump?because it sounds like it is a faulty pump.Stops all of a sudden and tries to start but wont run.You need to test the pressure by a fuel pump pressure tester at the fuel rail and it should be a constant 45psi(approx) pressure at the rail.Also check that you are getting spark at the plugs.Its got to be either one or the other.See what you find and let me know.
