What happened is that i was driving the car and all of the sudden it just stopped and shut off. I park it at the side and tried to turn it on again. After a few tries it started and then it did the same thing again after five min. I changed the computer because i was not getting any electrical in my ignition cables, changed the fuses and they are all fine. I don't know what it could be. If you could help me would be great, thank you for taking your time to read this message.

Sincerely, Mike Pojani

Do below and see what happens

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light.

Fuel pump and Injector/s checks out-start checking the ignition system-power to coil, coil/s itself,distributor pick-up,control module, Cam and Crankshaft sensors.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time
