I was driving down the highway in my truck, it was running fine. Then out of nowhere it stopped accelerating. The oil pressure went all the way down and the steering wheel locked itself. I pulled over and turned it off, when I checked my oil it was very low so I added a quart. It will crank, sound like it wants to start but wont turn all the way over. Can you help?

Are you getting spark and fuel to the engine? Is the fuel pump pressure within the manufacturer's specs?

Check the oil pressure switch-it powers the fuel pump
