Re: car won't start

Welcome and congrats on your new car. It sounds like it could be a fuel problem. I would check the following:

- Add gas. If this car is brand new to you, it may have a stuck fuel gauge and you simply ran out of gas.

- Replace fuel filter. Again, you may not know when that was changed. I had a 99 GMC pickup that coasted to a stop on the freeway and wouldn't restart. It turned out that the dealer never replaced the fuel filter as specified in the last major service visit.

- Check the fuel pump.
