I was driving home from work, pull in my driveway and car just shut off. Just replaced starter, fuel regulator. Or something like that. Fuel something. But not a fuel pump. I do not know what else could go wrong. :( I just bought it!

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

It could be a few things that can cause this to happen. Since you had work done to the fuel system, I have a feeling, the problem lies in that component. Regardless, we need to check for two things, spark and fuel to the engine. I need you to complete the following checks and let me know the results. Once I get the results, I will know better what to tell you.

The first link relates to the fuel system.

This link deals with checking ignition spark:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
