I was driving my car dow the canyon, it started sputtering, then made a loud pop. I lost all power.
This happened a week ago in the same place. I thought my gas gauge was broken so I hiked to a station and filled it up and drove home.
a week later same thing.
The gas gauge is an never was broken it turns out
I checked the fuel line going into the carb and craked it, it had fuel pumping in spurts. I cheked the fuel filters all fine.

What else can I check. I changes the plugs a month ago, up until now it was running great. I cant get it to start all now

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
