Coming home from work and got right before my driveway and the car died I had just enough to get it in. It drove home fine. The engine quit and power steering quit everything stopped working. It has a fairly new alternator less than a year. I waited a few min. and it started up .I am lost. Any help would be great. Thanks

 

Power steering is belt driven off the engine, so that's why you lost P.S.
Did you try to start the engine right after it quit, or did you just wait the few min first?
If you did try right away, did it crank over but didn't fire, or did it act dead when you turned the key?
Could be a few things, need more info before starting to throw guesses at you.
OK, I'll ask one to start...is there gas in the tank, and is your gas gauge accurate? [8D]

 

Yes I had just filled it up about two days ago so the is gas. When I got it in the driveway I put in park and turned the key to off and then restarted it and it cranked and seem to run fine. thanks for the help

 

One stall and no other symtoms? No info on the car specs? Some one grabthe blind folds and get the dart board, lets get this thread rolling.

 

It's one of two things...ignition (spark) or fuel.
Since it restarted right away, I don't think it would be an ignition problem, unless you maybe have a loose wire to the coil or distributor.
So, on to fuel:
What kind of carb do you have?
Mechanical or electric fuel pump?
Is the carb float at the right level?
Is the carb clean inside, or is it old with a lot of miles with crap floating around inside?
Is your fuel filter good? If you have a Quadrajunk, it would/should/might have a filter in the body of the carb at the inlet pipe. It can sometimes be a forgotten item and could be clogged.

 

I am just to slow

 

It is holly carb and i changed the sparks about a two months ago. fuel filter is about a year old . anymore help would be helpful. Also we had a lot of rain the two ago and it would not start at all and it started fine this morning. Could this have something too do with it.

 

That's one of the many things I like about Holley's, you can easily check float bowl height. Did you check fuel level through the sight plugs. I put the clear plugs on mine, makes it a lot easier to keep an eye on it.
Also, how old is your dist. cap and wires? When a car acts up in thedamp air, it's generally an ignition problem. You could have a bad cap that's cross-tracking, or bad wires that are leaking.

 

I am not sure how old the dist. and wires are. I have had this car for about year and they look like they may have some age on them. I will check the fuel sight plugs. Thanks for the help
