I am going with fuel pump at this point, timing related usually makes a big noise

Stock pump and I've also never changed filter, would this cause the engine to die at the snap of your fingers,

That happened to me. It's very sudden one second to the next.

There was no big noise, just died. Shop still has it, they will look at it Monday. Even if the pump was shot, would the car not still crank? Cause she won't crank. The shop tried t start it with a booster Pack and still would not start.

Nope it will not start if fuel pump is dead.

Re: Car died last night, why?

It will still crank if the pump is dead, just wont start

Will it still crank if the timing belt snapped?

Re: Car died last night, why?

Yeah, the starter will still turn the crankshaft.

Ok... So judging by this I'm leaning away from tbelt, and closer to electric issue.

What would cause car to loose volts when attemp to start, but have power in acc?
And not crank at all ?

Re: Car died last night, why?

Loose volts, well that could be bad, that's typically a sign that the starter is trying to push the engine but can't.....

Alternator

Re: Car died last night, why?

battery? seems to be a bad year for them

[kujiwara]

Re: Car died last night, why?

Could it be a clogged up fuel filter?

Re: Car died last night, why?

Alternator

I've had a alt die in the past, it was a slow death as I watched the volts go down. Then all the lights dimmed and lost all power, Could it still be the alt if I have batt power to everything else except the engine?
