I could use some advice here. I was driving down the road today and my engine abruptly cut out on me. There was no sputter or miss or anything. It was as if I had turned the key off, except for the electrical accessories still being on. The starter will turn over but it doesn't sound at all like it's trying to fire. A quick look under the hood didn't reveal anything obvious.

I've never had this happen before. I'm thinking it's a problem with the ignition system but I'm not sure where to start. How can I narrow down the problem? I have no other transportation so I need to get this running quickly. Thanks in advance.

 

Can someone tell me where the fuel pressure valve is on this car? I've traced the fuel lines all under the hood and I'm not seeing it.

 

I determined it is pumping fuel. The PCM is getting power because the fuel injectors are. If the anti-theft was screwing up, the starter wouldn't engage, right? So I'm thinking it's a sensor, maybe the crank sensor.

 

Okay, can someone tell me where the crank position sensor is on the 3.0? I figured it would be near the crankshaft pulley but I don't see it.

 

I forgot to mention it's a 2000 Galant.

 

Nevermind. The timing belt broke. I'm probably screwed.
