I was driving down the road and all of a sudden my car stalled and died on me, now my DCL light and charge system lights come on and my car turns over but will not start up. I replaced the relay right next to the battery terminal because it was making a horrible buzzing noise. But still my car will not start. what could be wrong. Also both of my back windows will not roll up and i have checked all fuses and they are good.

Scan the computer for code/s and then do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem.

Get a starting fluid/ether/better off gas in a spray bottle 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 related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
