Alright so here's my problem:
I started my car {Vrrrrrooooooommmmm}, then before I could get my put my hand on the AUTO shifter ****, the Car shut itself off (sounded like when all the power in a house goes out, like a generator powers down).
I dont think its the Battery because all the lights stay on(they dont even flicker) and the radio stays on even after the engine stops.
FYI-I tried starting it 5 times and the same thing happen all 5 times

Do yall have any ideas of what i'm looking at, and approx price?

Thanks in Advance

 

Try and get it started and running with your foot on the gas for a bit.
See if you can get it to idle once it's running for a few minutes.

And, just for kicks, check and see if you have gas in the tank....

 

Sensor. I just cant stick the tip of my finger on it at this instant

 

on the gas thing. same thing happened to me when i was slightly below quarter tank (weather was also cold). got it started by following same procedure that njmaxseltd suggested, & been keeping it above half tank ever since. problem has not resurfaced. if it still does it, might want to check your engine coolant temp sensor. ECTS is cheap, about 20 bucks. Check for codes.

 

What is the name of the machine I need to check the codes?? I wanna try and see if its on EBAY

Thanks guys. it was cold this weekend i'll try in the morning, and my take is exactly a quarter tank

 

You can do it yourself without any special tools, all you need is a screwdriver. The instructions are here in the stickies, it's really easy:
