My car lost power then got back a boost of power then shut off. It still starts and all the gauges go up but after a few seconds it shuts back off again. I've been driving alot today (almost 3 hours straight) and it's around 88 degrees where I live. I checked oil about 30 mins after the car shut down and it looked a little low so I put some in and it will turn over but after a few seconds just shuts back off. I have work tomorrow so I want to try and figure out what's wrong with it as fast as possible so I don't miss to many days of work.

Did the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked if the plugs are getting spark?

No check engine light, the car won't turn over now. Not sure about the fuel pump pressure and I haven't been able to check the spark plugs because I have to unscrew the cover for the engine which I have to get the tool for.
