Can your car stop running if you needed a tune up and didnt get one? I also have an oil leak could that be a reason why it isnt starting?

An oil leak won't cause it not to start. As far as the tune-up, the engine performance could deteriate to a point where it is running really bad and then not start, but it won't happen all at once.

If it isn't starting, check to make sure it is getting spark and fuel. Go to the DIY section on our homepage for directions.
