Have to determine why the car stalled and why it want restart
Did the engine overheat?
With key on do you have light in the dash?
Turn headlights on do they shine strong?
Crank the engine does it crank but will not start?
If all dead and or little power, get a jump if that help and gets the engine started
check charging system and suspect alternator
