Default Engine Problems

Ok, the other day i was driving to work and noticed that i was running low on gas, so i filled it up. Not 2 miles down the road the car just dies everything gauges too. I dont think it is bad gas because i put in some water remover in the tank. The problem is still continuing all i have to do is put it in neutral and turn it back on, but its becoming an inconvenience. Any help is appreciated.

check your battery and see if it has any juice in it

and your alternator is probably bad

if you can charge your battery back up and grab a new alternator

that may be the problem. i know that happened to me a couple times and thats what i did


it could be something else

Check your coil. May also be your fuel pump, but the coil is more likely.

yeah maybe you have a wire that is grounding out that got cut or burned

one time my spark plugs got melted and the car would shutoff when the bare wires touched something
