Good morning,
i would appreciateany guidance for this one as I am a 30 mile tow from guy who normally works on my car.
(cant afford a tow cost and truthfull probably cant afford the repair cost if not minor).
i started up road on an errand aafter starting fine (all normal) and less than a half mile out the engine just quit and car rolled to a stop. Radio, lights, wipers all still working but engine stopped. Cranks fine(has juice) but wont turn over.
drifted and pushed into a parking lot and am hoping there is a relay plug in that will solve problem.
car has lot of mileage but has had routine maintances and oil changes.
anything I should look for to know what to expect or if it is self fixable?
appreciate the help.

Hi jeffjohnson03,

Thank you for the donation.

Firstly you would need to check what is missing, ignition sparks, fuel or is it a mechanical failure such as a bad timing belt.

Here are links that explains what to check for.
