asked by on February 17, 2017

The last couple of days I've noticed while driving my car starts making some noise and lights dim down but will stop if i shake the wheel side to side a few second. This only happens when I am driving never when stopped. But when I turned my car off last night and went this morning to leave the car has power but will not start. It cranks just not turn over.

My car has 225534 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
