I'm not too mechanically inclined but I can fix things if I know what the problem is and I have the tools for the job.
I was driving about 65mph when my van abruptly slowed down (almost like I pressed the break). No engine were on. The rpms were going up as I pressed the gas pedal but my speed didn't increase. I pulled over to the side of the road & turned it off. I checked the usual things oil, antifreeze, etc. I was about a quart low on oil. The engine wouldn't crank over when I tried to start it again. I had it towed to my house because I can't afford to take it to a shop. Can anyone tell me where to start? It is 4am & I will check my fuses when daylight hits. Any ideas would be very helpful....
