Last week while driving from work, my car started sputtering like it was running out of gas. There was gas because I just got some from the gas station before it happened. My gauges for the gas and my coolant temp were reading empty and cold. They kept jumping. I got off the road, cut the car off and it wouldn't restart at all.

I had it towed home and tried tinkering with it. No luck. There's no power whatsoever in this car. Battery is less than 6 months old, alternator is less than 6 months old since I changed it. I've tried charging the battery, and that doesn't do any good.

Any input on what this could be? Is it the PCM? The car has 212,000 miles

 

It most likely is that exactly, Sometimes if you disconnect the Battery completely and leave it overnite it might reset something. And you get another chance.
Otherwise you will need a new one. Might find one at a salvage yard??
good luck!!

 

Thanks for confirming that. I haven't tried leaving the cable off overnight but I'll try that and see what happens. And if not, then I'll take the next step of getting another PCM or a car haha.
