Ok, So like the great gal that I am I dont do the whole maintanance thing on my car.I think this time I really screwed up. My car is a 2003 Toyota Solara V6 with 72K milies or so. Its is an automatic.


I started the car and went down the street. Then it died. The check engine and oil light and battery light came on, but the radio stil worked, I had a full tank and no sputtering happenned and there had been no noises or signs of any car problems. So I waited and started it again it started and then died a couple miles later.

When I got home I checked the fuilds and the oil is a bit low, there was no coolant. And there was some corrosion on the battery.


Do I need to take it in to the mechanic or is it possible that I just need to fill the fluids.

Fill the fluids and take it in and have them check the fuel pressure to identify a failing fuel pump for a start

Your problem could also be in the ignition system

HTH Good Luck
