While driving my car shut off in the middle of the road and wouldn't start back up. Bought a new battery, had the starter tested and was good but still won't turn over and start.

Hi,

I need to better understand. Is the starter engaging and turning the engine, but it isn't starting. or is the starter not engaging at all?

I'm going to get started with a couple of links for you to look through. The first explains how to test a starter not working and the second explains the most common causes of a crank no start condition.

Let me know if that helps and the answers to my questions. Also, let me know if fuel pressure, ignition spark, or any other tests have been done.

Take care,

Joe
