While riding on Hwy about 70mph the car turned off, check engine light came on and it wouldnt start anymore. No leaks or noises, didnt run hot just stopped. What should I check first.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
