The car shut off while driving one day and wouldn’t fire back up. checked for spark nothing. also noticed fuel pump didn’t make noise when turning the key to “on” like it used to prior to shutting off in middle of road. I’ll try to attach the trouble codes I pulled in a video not sure if I’m reading them right maybe I can get your say on fault.

Hi,

If you lost fuel and spark, it does sound electrical. As far as the codes are concerned, yes, they would be very helpful. I don't know if you need it, but here is a link that explains how to retrieve codes from the vehicle's OBD1 system:

If possible, record it cranking and upload it for me to hear. In the interim, here is a link you may find helpful.

Let me know as much as you can

Take care,

Joe
