I was on the hightway and my car just shut off, like it stalled. so i popped it in fourth and started it again. so I took the next exit and she died but this time i couldnt start it again.
My battery has plenty of juice (12.5) but the car wont turn over. My gas light had just turned on but im only a little below the quarter line, so according to it, I have gas. Im thinking its a fuel problem, pump or whatnot, but i also have a substantial oil leak (puddle on the bed of tow truck that brought me home). My fuel filter needs changing desperately also. What do you guys think? Im going to throw some gas it just to make sure that its not my gauge thats screwing me over. anyone have a diagnostic tips for me?

the underplastic on the passenger side is saturated, so i know its from that side, and i have a loud sqeak from some belt.
could the leak be around the tbelt leaking oil into the belt? is there a seal in there that could be blown? and don't worry im checking the oil three times a day -------------------- ![]() The question is not how far.
