Just driving along and....

The Car died, it wasnt low on any fluids, the engine temp was 200 and nothing else. IT wasn't a shaky die just kinda going along in my nighborhood and tried to gas it and nothing so looked down and alll the AUX lights are on. Try to turn it over, it turns over but doesn't start. I figure maybe its flooded, took the plugs out, they were all dry. Did a quick compression check, eveything fine there. So i decide to turn the engine over with the plugs out to see if any gas came out, Nothing, tested to see if there was any spark, nothing there. Its almost like i have my EFI relay pulled. How would i go about testing that little thing? Also when you have the key in run mode its making the beep beep beep cause the door it open, now it makes one long beep and the airbag lgiht on the dash flashes at me? Also i disabled th AWS and it was giving me 3 engine code lights and now none. Any ideas?

Thanks
~Luke

this is probably a dumb question, but did you check to make sure you have gas?

Is the gas good?
A friend of mine have similar happening.
The gas station has water in their fuel tanks.
And some of it got pumped into the car.
And the exact same thing happenned.
but on piston engine though.

Water no good.

Your computer could have crapped out if you have no spark. Try to jump the diagnostic terminal under the hood and check for fault codes.

I think your first assumption was most logical. Check to be sure you didn't blow your EGI fuse. It is in your fuse box connected to the battery. Of course something must have caused it to blow.
