So my girlfriend's car has been working pretty well since I started dating her over a year ago. We had the brakes fixed a week or two ago, which costed us a good 540 dollars... and now there's a new problem! Ugh.
I went to work today and the car ran fine, with no problems. Then when my girlfriend hops in to go to work we start driving down the street and the car is having a lot of trouble starting. It would start, but then shut off. All the lights would be on and everything, so I know it wasn't the battery. We try to start it a few times and finally get it going. We start driving, but when we get to a stop sign the car turns off again and we have to restart it. We got about 6 blocks before and it kept doing this, and then the check engine light turns on! And then it won't even start anymore. I finally got it parked somewhere, and we had to walk back home and she just had to take her bike to work. I'm going to go back over to the car later and see if I can get it started and bring it back home... and now I'm gonna have to pay even more money for it...
So does anyone have any guess as to what might be wrong with it? It was running fine before this happened.
