Hi Guys,
Some advice needed please i don't know much about cars apart from driving them.
I was driving home from work last night and suddenly the car lost power and then a couple of seconds later the engine cut out & the engine management light came on. i was able to start the car again and drive a few hundred yards before it did it again. Again it started ok and i managed to get the short distance home.
This morning the car started straight away as usual & the engine sounded normal while idling in the park position when i put it in Drive and moved off the power went and it cut out after only moving a couple of meters & i tried several times and same thing happened with the engine light coming on as before
does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be, i don't think i could manage to get it to a garage
any help would be much appreciated
thought id add that my fuel gauge was on the red but i couldnt put any in as morrisons near were i live was closed early, but surely it cant be that becuase if it was out of fuel wouldnt it not start at all?
