I was driving on Tuesday and while moving the engine suddenly died. It had been running smoothly, though noticeably at lower rpm while idling than usual. After that it cranks, but it does not turn over.
After a bit of reading around, I replaced the distributor as that seemed to be the most common source of problems like this. Sadly this did nothing to solve the problem, it sounds exactly the same as it did before.
Further information: no warning lights are active on the dash. The electrical systems all seem to be functioning at normal levels, so it doesn't seem like my battery is the issue. I was going to replace my spark plugs, but I don't think that's the issue either, based on how the vehicle was running before the engine died. It is a bit low on oil, and due for a change.
Any advice or further questions are appreciated.
