hey guys,
looking for a bit of mechanical guidance
so the other day my car shut off while i was driving, and wouldn't start.
i didn't hear any knocking sounds or bangs.
I am slightly concerned it may be a mechanical issue? if the engine blew, would i hear a knocking or something similar when i try to crank it?
it try's to crank and all most gets there but doesn't turn over.
I haven't had the time to check error codes yet, as i have exams.
Id say its a electrical issue, will look further into that after exams, but just wanting to know if there is a dead give a way of internal issues that i could look for?
Cheers
adzski

First thing to do is check codes. If no codes, check if you're getting fuel and spark.

Check basics. Battery terminals, do you have petrol and oil, etc.

Pull out your ignition leads, see if there is a spark, if no spark then it's ignition related. Could possibly be an issue with your fuel lines/fuel pump?

Also get a volt meter and check your battery

Checked there is no spark.
Also sprayed carry cleaner in intake, so i defiantly know that its not fuel related.
could it be the ignition failure sensor?

Do you have an immobiliser?
If engine shuts you off while driving, could be due to it.
I had something similiar.
Something about the relay being worn, and de-magnetised, and cut the engine off, when running.
