i was on my way home from work and my car started to chug and then lost power. shut off. wont start back up. i can see it gets fuel but wont fire. does anyone have an explanation to this? if so please help me out.

maybe a bad sensor, mine chugs and im having a similar issue right now, one of my spark plugs came loose... some how, and the plug wire was loose also, im looking into a tps sensor/map sensor, sorry if this wasnt too much help, throwing some idea's, no one else did

my car did the same thing you need to check the exhaust pipe between the catalytic converter and the muffler cause some of the catalytic may have lodged itself in there somewhere and needs to be removed. hope this helps?????

Any engine codes?

could be anything,
main relay, ignitor, pcm,


do you have spark? you said u got fuel right

-check the oil level
(not enough oil pressure can cause the engine to go into limp mode)
-look at all the grounds to the engine
(transmission, top-left of engine, I think there's one near the thermostat too)
(a faulty ground can cause all kinds of stupid things to happen)
-clean the battery terminals

after those
-buy a spark checker or use a timing gun to check for spark
if no spark:
-look at igniter and coil (inside the distributor)
