ONe day as I was going to school, the car traveled over a series of speed bumps. On the last speed bump, the car made a series of knocking noises, three warning lights came on, and the car died. It would start, but immediately die.No codes are being brought up. So far in the past 3 months no mechanic in town has been able to diagnose the problem.

What warning lights are showing?
Are you able to keep engine running if you feather the throttle?

So presently it would start and then stall?
Was a scan tool ever used to monitor the various sensors?
