Crandis16 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Here's the situation. I had 1/4 tank of gas. I was driving home when the engine completely cut out... no sputtering at all. The electrical is just fine, everything electrical still worked. The fuel pump still works too. If anyone has experienced this previously then I would really appreciate some input on my problem. It sucks and I would really like my car to work so that I can go to work and avoid paying high prices from mechanics Thanks again in advance Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 thats very little info what else have you tested, is it getting spark? check the ignition module, what happened on the instrument cluster when it shut down? does it start now? is the a check engine light? how do you know the fuel pump still works? have you checked fuses?

I could hear the fuel pump. Spark plugs were sparking. Wouldn't turn over but it runs better than it did before it died.

nickers Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 yup a snapped timing belt would do that, wouldnt have that problem with a v8 though timing chains are boss Quote chevrolet all day er day.

Purplehaze Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 yup a snapped timing belt would do that, wouldnt have that problem with a v8 though timing chains are boss Chains can break too... it all depends on the mileage. Some V8's have belts btw.
