(2010-05-29 09:53:40) 1. Says: On my way home from eating out at a dinner with my boyfriend, I started to have car trouble. I was driving and then all of a sudden, a light came out (wasn't sure if it was my engine light or oil lightI pulled to a gas station to park, but before I could, my car shut off automatically. The battery was runnign fine because my lights came on (oil light and engine light) shortly after that happened, I tried to start the car up, but no go. I waiting 20 mins, and tried, and it still wouldn't start. Finally, I stopped (didn't want to do anymore further damage) and just called my tow truck company. What could of went wrong with my car? It would start up, so I KNOW ITS BAD!... The weird part about thsi is that I havent had any trouble prior to what happened today... it's as if it happened out of no where. You think maybe its the spark plugs? Or maybe the timing belt!?!? I'm a college student and I need my car to go back and forward to school and work = ( I drive a 2001 PT Cruiser.Help = [[[[[C2. Says: kinda hard to go off your description since its kinda vague as far as symptoms go, my guess is that its probably something electrical and hopefully minor, could be that you ran low on oil and your engine shut off because of a lack of oil pressure too.3. Says: Did you look at the gas gage.It could be out of gas.4. Says: spark plugs have nothing to do with this.hang on must read this again.timing belt skipped a couple of teeth?possible. what car how many miles-km do you have?could be something as small as a positive. wire grounding out.vapor lock?little more info/make model year-someone will come up with an answer.
