I was driving to the body shop and all the sudden my car just dies. i used all my muscle to steer it out of the street....I what would make my car just die while driving????

 

need more info, does it crank, if yes first check for spark if there is no spark disconnect the tach lead a shorted tach lead could cause it to loose spark, test battery, test charging system if the battery is dead. More info will be needed to help diagnose.

 

no battery isnt dead. it just didnt start. The main thing is my car died on me while driving. No it didnt crank

 

Test for fuel and spark then come back.

 

Typically the fuel pump. Test the fuel pressure.

 

If "No it didn't crank" means the starter is not turning the engine at all,
probably means a major power distribution failure. Does anything else (lights, accessories, etc.) work. If not, look for failed connections/broken wires in the 10 gauge wires that connect to the positive battery terminal, and supply all the other systems. On my 90 Formula, there are several that are connected at the main connection on the starter. Best case, that nut has come loose.
Otherwise: on this same Formula, a sensor module in the distributor failed. Most good autoparts stores can test these modules. A GM dealer charged me $240 for this lesson.

It may sound trivial, but it bit me in the *** on more than one occasion. Start at the battery, & look for corroded, loose, or broken connections.

Good luck,

yes all my electronics example system lights windows all work. It just didnt start do to i think my hot start issue which im fixing today
