I have Pontiac Grand Am. I was driving down the highway and my car lose power and stop and didnt crank back up. I was on 1/4 tank of gas. So I thought I might ran out of gas. I put gas in the it crank up the it stop on me again about 4 mile up. I was on the highway this morning the same thing happen to me again it lose power and cut off. What could this be.

When the problem occurs, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.

You might also check for any applicable trouble codes. To check for codes, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader.
