While driving my car the engine cut out. It will not start. It has a newer battery, the alternator works, I'm getting a spark on all four, and I've checked the fuel cut off switch. When I touch the red button on the switch that automatic seat belt on the passenger side starts to move. Is this a possible wiring issue?

If you have good spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check for fuel injector pulse, engine cranking. Can you check for applicable trouble codes?

There wasn't any answer here when I started typing. Forgive me If I posted on somebody. It wasn't on purpose. Have a good day.

Just to add, check cylinder compression incase of valve timing issue or something of that nature.

My hearing is no good, I can't hear fuel pump run with engine cranking, I have to use fuel pressure gage.
