Questions that narrow it down

General checks. Answering them does not confirm the failed part on this vehicle.

Worth checking first

  • A stall with a charging warning is a different path than a stall with a fuel smell.
  • Do not treat a no-crank event as the same job as a stall while driving.

Safety

When not to keep driving

  • If you smell raw fuel or see a leak, do not keep driving. Get the vehicle somewhere safe and have it inspected.
