Engine Problem?
Ok so I finally get my car back from the shop. I'm driving her soft, gradually driving rough. As i'm driving on the off ramp my engine starts sputtering and then dies. I press the start button, she turns on, starts sputtering again and dies. I checked my battery connections, intake, loose wires, and any leaks. Everything in great so I try to start it up again, and again it starts, sputtars and dies. I try giving it gas when it starts but no acceleration, no nothing. Any Ideas to what this might be

Most likely because your tank was low, the slope you were on caused the fuel to move away from the feed and choked your fuel pump.

Turn it to ON then, don't hold down the brake, just push the button twice and all your gauges will come on.

Like it was mentioned make sure there's GAS and if that don't work? get it towed home so at least its safe till tomorrow and either tow it back to the body shop or the dealer
But first do a ecu reset By disconnecting the neg on the Battery and see it clears its issue Last edited by Trips; 12-31-2012 at 01:37 AM. |

If it died and you're on a slope, hopefully in an emergency lane, if you can put it in Neutral and let it coast/roll onto a flat surface, it would be better to leave it there while getting more gas.

Get gas from AAA or something, if that doesn't work out, I'll come out, you're a solid 85 miles away, so it'll take me some time to get there if gas isn't the solution, and you'll be up and down to diagnose the problem
