2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser

I started my car this morning. It was fine for about 10 seconds, then it shut off. Now it won't start at all. It will turn over, but it won't start. I have 3/4 tank of gas so I know it's not that, but what is wrong with it?

Hi:
Is the engine getting spark and fuel? It almost soundes like the fuel pump stopped working.

Let me know what you find.

To start, go to a nationally recognized parts store and rent a fuel pressure tester. Follow the directions on the tool as to how to check for pressure. If ther is no pressure, move to the fuel pump relay. Make sure there is power there. In fact, if you check closely, you will most likely find an exact relay running another component. If the part number is the same, switch them and see if you get fuel.

Let me know how that works. If you still can't get pressure, you will need to remove the fuel tank to get to the pump. Then you will check for power to the pump. If there is power, the pump may be bad.

Let me know what you find.
