Q: Car is suddenly stopping - 1995 Dodge Stealth
My car had been running really great. Then suddenly it didn't run at all. A few days ago I went outside to start it, put the key in the ignition, turned the key and everything went dead. At first I thought it was a dead battery, but then I checked it and it was good. Then I put in a new starter, but that didn’t do any good. Could it be an electrical problem? Do you know what’s wrong?
