| Description of the problem | The vehicle stalled on me this morning as i was driving to work on a busy street. I attempted to crank it back up but the oil light as well as the battery light came on and the check engine light stayed on. I left the vehicle on the side of the road for 8 hrs, when i returned i was able to drive it for approx. 15 miles and it stalled again once i made it to my destination. Vehicle also backfires now and has a very strong gas smell coming from it. Started stalling after i drove through standing water puddles on the road. |
