Why did my car shut off while driving and won't start?
It could be a problem with the alternator or the battery itself. Check the electrical systems, connectors, and terminals. If not, then check the drive belt for damage or retighten. If the car dies while driving but restarts again, check for a clogged fuel filter.
Do a quick visual inspection of your engine. First, take a look at your battery. You can easily diagnose battery issues if you see corrosion on the terminals. Next, check and replace the air filter regularly — about every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. This is especially important if you live somewhere that is affected by air quality issues.
Pay attention to when your car acts odd.
Don’t ignore dimmed lights or difficulty starting. Notice when your vehicle has a rough idle, shaking, or backfire from the exhaust pipe. Listen for ticking noises coming from the engine. Any of these signs can indicate timing issues that can lead to major, expensive, problems if not addressed right away.
