| Answer: | There are many things that can cause your car to suddenly die. Here are most common one: -Weak fuel pump. Have your fuel pressure regulator checked to be sure you're getting adequate pressure. -Clogged fuel filter. This is pretty common. Your fuel filter should be changed every 1-2 years. -Weak alternator. Usually, alternators don't just sudden quit working. They cause problem similar to the ones you're having. Have it load tested at a local garage or auto parts store. Good luck! |
