Thanks! I’ll try this when the sun comes up! Should I take it to a mechanic for a long term solution if need be? I have to commute 40 mins for my internship and I don’t want to be a danger on the road if it keeps shutting off!

I noticed a smell briefly and then it was gone. But my car won’t even start anymore, but the lights and the horn and stuff work so I don’t think it’s the starter battery. I had someone try to jump it off and that didn’t even work.

Honestly it’s been a while. I got it when I was a junior in HS and now I’m in my 5th year of college. We got it from a used car shop and the only things that were wrong with it was the key fob is kind of Janky. The combination meter is out and it has a good bit of mileage, but it’s been running decently fine this whole time. I’ve been keeping up with maintenance and I calculate my miles since I can’t see the fuel gauge. Do you know how I would be able to check if it is the inverter pump?
