I was driving my car and it drove fine. As I was making a igth turn teh vehicle just turned off. I tried to turn on the car, its starts but then suddenly turns off. I eplaced the ignition switch, relay fuel pump, and I tested the fuel pump which worked fine. I still am inable to start my car. Please let me know what the problem could be becuase the car worked fine and then turned off unexpectatly.

Do below and comeback with some testing results

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
