ONe day as I was going to school, the car traveled over a series of speed bumps. On the last speed bump, the car made a series of knocking noises, three warning lights came on, and the car died. It would start, but immediately die. No codes are being brought up. So far in the past 3 months no mechanic in town has been able to diagnose the problem.

What warning lights are showing?
Are you able to keep engine running if you feather the throttle?

Sorry, the warning lights are off now but they were the check engine, battery and oil looking symbol. There is no effect if the throttle is pressed

So presently it would start and then stall?
Was a scan tool ever used to monitor the various sensors?
