    Car died while driving

    Ok so this is what happened.. Went to the store (about 3/4 of a mile) for a drink car started fine and drove fine there. Got my drink and left once again car started fine and drove away.. About half way back to work it just died like I ran out of fuel. It still cranked but would not fire. I checked the electrical on the fuel pump and im not getting power. Not sure what to do now

    K so I went out and I ran a jumper from the battery to the fuel pump.. The pump works so I had my girlfriend crank it while I jumped it.. Still nothing.. I have power to my coil also but I don't think it's coming out. Is there an in line fuse I'm missing?

    Check to see if the timing belt is still intact.

    The car is running now there was a crushed wire after the asd.. So it was acting as if the asd was kicking in.. Repaired the wire and car runs fine.runs even better since I also repaired the oxy sensor.. But I also checked the cam gears and the timing belt everything looks good thanks for all the help guys.. Oh and after I had it running the diagnostics system still won't flash any ideas on this.

    Is the check engine/power loss lamp burned out? Does it light up during bulb check at start up?
