03 galant problem

I think it is is 03 or 02 galant... The engine starts for half a sec then dies out. I see the RPM gauge go to 1.. The steering becomes loose (like when the engine is on) then the engine dies out half a sec later...

What could this be from ?

Bad gas, plugs, clogged air filter? Jeez it could be a ton of things?
Does the check engine light come on?
Tell her once it's started to give it some gas and see if it keeps it from stalling

Spark plugs i would first unplug each one one at a time from each end, make sure they look good not corroded then start the car again. if it is a no go then unscrew each spark plug check them.

Could be a hundred different things. Anything from bad fuel pump, clogged injectors, bad gas, distributor/rotor, security key issue.......

Have it towed to a shop.

:Iagree: it's almost impossable to say what the problem is without looking at the car in person.
