I was driving and out of no where I couldn’t accelerate anymore, so I pulled over to the side. My lights turn on and all so it’s not my battery. My engine turns over but does not turn on. Not sure if it is my fuel pump or timing belt maybe? What can I look for and examine to diagnose the issue correctly?

Hello,

Okay, an engine needs three things to start, fuel, spark(delivered at the right time), and compression. The way you described your vehicle shutting down, let's make sure you are getting fuel. Can you check the fuel pressure for us. Here is a link below for you to go to below.

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out. We can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
